*Some drives use the 255 value for 'disabled'. But 254 is, in all practical purposes, the same as having power management disabled, and may even *be* the disabled setting for some disks -- namely, those which are unaffected by the '255' setting (apparently because they are following the spec).
Since 254 works both where 255 doesn't and where 255 does, 254 is the preferred value. -- 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
