> Early reports indicate that this patch likely does NOT solve the problem.
The fact is that this is not a bug/regression of the kernel. It's a lack of feature. The early original patch here, http://www.nabble.com/(fwd)--PATCH--sd:-implement-stop_on_shutdown-t3049703.html , that was already merged, need mandatory changes in userspace, so changes to upstart shutdown(8) or workaround as described in some posts here. The definitive patches here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/30489 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/17392 are probably too much invasive to be merged in a stable, distro customized kernel, but don't need changes in userspace (beacuse they use a kernel-space workaround, already scheduled for removal). So, from a distro perspective, there are few options: 1) Keep original early patch and modify upstart shutdown(8) now (i was waiting for the definitive patches to be merged in 2.6.22-rc before submitting a bug to upstart...); 2) Merge the definitive patches; 3) || die >From a user perspective, simply use the early patch (that should be already merged in ubuntu 2.6.20 kernel, right?) plus the workarounds described here by Martin Koßler and More. -- bad hard disk noise on shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
