Not sure if I've done this right, but I've marked Bug #799312 as a duplicate of this bug. Perhaps I should have marked this as the duplicate, but I'm not sure how launchpad works just yet.
It appears to be dealing with the same issue however a more up to date patch has been generated which works for 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, and also 12.04 beta. My concern is that no form of this fix patch has been incorporated in the hdparm source since it was first noted here in #5 in 2008. How do I go about letting a code maintainer know that this patch exists so it can be incorporated into the main code base of hdparm as used under Precise. I use this patch to make sure that powered external USB HDD's which don't have reasonable APM settings will spin down after being idle for 30 min - ie. after the machine they are attached to powers down. I don't want updates to overwrite the patch I have applied to a client machine, and leave his external hard drive running 24/7.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222458 Title: /lib/udev/hdparm Compares Against $DEVNAME.
