@Michael: Your workaround looks interesting - can you tell us something about the impact on power consumption? I am currently having the problem that one of my laptops, the Evo N600c, is grilling and toasting its harddrive after I set hdparm -B 200. HD Temperature now is constantly at 50 degrees Celsius, lots of fan activity even with no hard drive access. That leaves me with two impossible options - either I toast my HD or I break it from the load cycles :-(((((
So what does smartctl say about your HD temperature? -- 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
