Behaviour confirmend on an IBM Thinkpad R52 with harddisk Hitachi HTS541060G9AT00. Default value for APM is 128 after a clean install of Gutsy Gibbon. A value of 192 or bigger, set with "hdparm -B", seems to be the range of values with no load cycles.
The load cycles are *not* limited to battery power mode on my system. I also had them when not in battery power mode. -- default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 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
