If 'Advanced power management level' is correctly set to 254 on your drive, and it's still parking, then I'm afraid I don't see anything else we can do this to fix this from Ubuntu. My understanding is that '254' means, by definition, that the heads are not supposed to be parked; so you appear to have buggy firmware. You might have luck with talking to your vendor about a firmware fix for the drive? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
