I find it strange that so many people say there is no possible workaround for their system. If you can stop the problem by applying hdparm -B 255 (or 254) yourself, then the only remaining problem is to make sure that is always applied (particularly after a suspend). If that is the problem, then see the tail comments of bug 89269.
Or are there some drives where even hdparm -B 255/254 does not prevent the parking? Seems to me the only difference between a "broken" and "non-broken" drive is the default value of this setting, and whether or not it goes back to the default (and hence needs to be changed again by Ubuntu) after a suspend (or reboot). -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 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
