I get the same error, and I've found the cause of it on my system: - /lib/udev/rules.d/85-hdparm.rules calls /lib/udev/hdparm for every sdX and shX drive - /lib/udev/hdparm loads functions from /lib/hdparm/hdparm-functions - When the 'hdparm_options' function is called it sets a default global APM policy - Because I'm on AC power, with a stock /etc/hdparm.conf file, this results in -B 254 getting set.
While you can change the APM value via hdparm.conf, the -B switch is going to get set, no matter what. And not all of my drives support that. I understand why this is being done, but, we need the ability to disable it. My suggestion is another option in hdparm.conf, say "noapm" :) In the meantime, because I actually wish to use hdparm.conf and easily see any errors on boot, I've edited: /lib/hdparm/hdparm-functions, mine was line 88, comment out 'hdparm_set_option -B254' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470014 Title: systemd-udevd: Process '/lib/udev/hdparm' failed with exit code 5.
