Thanks _oOMOo_ - I had noticed that with the various updates to Hardy, the disk device was swapping between sda & hda, and for that reason added stanzas for both disk in /etc/hdparm.conf.
Strangely, I'm unable to reproduce this fault right now but will update the ticket if/when I see the problem again. -- Hardy hdparm does not honour power management options, leading to premature disk failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195822 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
