"Marki and Guy, thank you very much for all of the info. I am in the middle of a research project and really do not have time to look into all of this stuff (more than I already have), so I REALLY appreciate the help."
No prob. Check if laptop mode is enabled (it most likely is not, unless you enabled it yourself). If it is not enabled, the settings you see with smartmontools are the default for your machine. I saw a lot of reports about Thinkpads being affected, so most likely, they have bad defaults while most HP's seem to be fine. -- Hard drive spindown should be configurable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17216 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
