Well, regarding the System I mentioned before (Latitude C-840 with Hitachi travelstar Dk23EA-30) That was completly unresponsive to hdparm settings I can now confirm that under Windows 2000 the load unload cycles in this equipment are not eliminated but greatly diminished.
So may be Ubuntu is not causing this behavior but there seems to be something in Ubuntu that is exacerbating the problem to where it becomes unbearable. Since I have not been ablo to find a workaround It seems that I will have to forget Ubuntu as a workable alternative for the time being. I really hope this is given the attention it deserves and solved. I am very dissapointed that the bug is still listed in the whislist category. -- 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
