For me, using a non-broken disk, the heads never park - I'm not using laptop-mode. So there seems to be a problem with the broken disks that makes them park without Linux telling them to do so, and even prevents Linux from avoiding spinning down. Maybe Ubuntu should be able to let the HD sleep for more than 5 sec, but this is another problem.
