Regarding my last posts https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/17216/comments/62 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/17216/comments/63
You can experiment with values between 128 (low power usage) and 254 (best performance) although values below 254 still can do much head parks (depending on the harddrive) so you should keep watching your Load_Cycle_Count. The Load_Cycle_Count can still rise very fast when you set power management to 128. I set my power management to 128 somewhere between 16:20 and 16:40. Between 16:40 and 17:00 I see 42 Load_Cycles within 20 minutes. That's 2 Load_Cycles per minute. 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 903 | Fri Nov 2 16:20:01 CET 2007 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 920 | Fri Nov 2 16:40:02 CET 2007 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 962 | Fri Nov 2 17:00:01 CET 2007 -- Hard drive spindown should be configurable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17216 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
