I've had a look at the acpi-support diff, and the reason this fix isn't taking effect is this code:
DO_HDPARM=y if [ -e /usr/sbin/laptop_mode ] ; then LMT_CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=$(. /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf && echo "$CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT") if [ "$LMT_CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT" != 0 ] ; then # Laptop mode controls hdparm -B settings, we don't. DO_HDPARM=n fi fi This checks whether laptop-mode is configured to use hdparm, but fails to check whether laptop-mode is *enabled* on the system, which it isn't by default. Will integrate an additional check for /var/run/laptop-mode- tools/enabled, which is what laptop-mode itself uses at runtime. -- 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
