@angel chen: i can confirm that on intrepid with all updates applied, the four 90-hdparm.sh scripts never come to hdparm, cause $DO_HDPARM is always set to "n". just like you said, it really needs to be changed otherwise the scripts won't fix load cycling on ac.
but as your change will finally result in $DO_HDPARM=y on my side, it also does the same when running the script from battery.d. and AFAIK laptop mode should be enabled on battery and therefore $DO_HDPARM should be "n". the same should be the case with the script in start.d, when you booting your laptop on battery. am i right? -- 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 subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
