Scott thanks for the info but I believe you have misidentified the
problem. The bug I reported has nothing to do with G-P-M's ability to
control hard drive power management, or lack thereof. The problem is
that G-P-M is writing to the disk about once per minute, for the
frivolous purpose of recor
Thanks for the /answer/, Scott. In the end, those two days I spent
cleaning my system of the Gnome were not a waste of time. Design by

Actually I misspoke: in my case, g-p-m is causing excessive spin-down &
spin-up cycles, not preventing it from spinning down. On batter

I can confirm that, on my system, about every 90 seconds gnome-power-
manager is writing to the file:
$/HOME/.gnome2/gnome-power-manager/profile-
G71C0001W210-38880-000193-discharging.csv
While it may be nice for some people to have g-p-m provide a battery

Attached is a typical output of iotop, polling every 10 seconds, on
battery power, showing that gnome-power-manager is writing to disk every
minute or so. This is obviously detrimental to battery life and hard
drive longevity, so gnome-power-manager should not behave in this way.
** Attachment ad
This bug exists in Jaunty. On battery power, gnome-power-manager writes
to disk approx. every 90 seconds, causing my hard drive to never remain
spun down. I will post additional info in the comments.
** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => New
