"Then when I manually enter hdparm -B 128 /dev/sda1, it works exactly as it should."
Actually the above statement isn't true either since I just noticed that it spins down anyway even when I manually enter hdparm -B 128 and hdparm -I verifies that that its value is indeed set to 128 and not disabled. So something is indeed overriding hdparm. -- harddrive spins down when it shouldn't in laptop-mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286846 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
