Your drive probably has something unique (and probably nonstandard) about its power management settings that is preventing the hdparm setting from taking. Whether it's a bug or an issue of the drive maker not following standards, it appears hdparm isn't working quite right on your system in regard to APM, and you should file a report on the hdparm package.
I think the solutions we've been working toward here do actually work, but not in cases where the power management cannot be controlled (because both the issue and the workaround fix are directly related to power management). -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
