[Bug 952556] Re: [Precise] [Hardware-killer] HD restarts every few seconds
Dear any interested, I just found out that the hdparm -B and -S parameters were being overridden by the laptop_mode-tools. Whenever I put my laptop on battery after using it on AC, its hdparm values set at boot time are overridden by the settings inside the following file (if you have laptop_mode-tools installed, that is). I hope this will give insight to the devs to do something about this issue. I checked it myself by modifying BATT_HD_POWERMGMT from 1 to 128 and voila, it keeps its 128 value. Surely, the laptop_mode-tools is the place to fine tune the hdparm vales while on battery. an excerpt of: sudo gedit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf # # Idle timeout values. (hdparm -S) # Default is 2 hours on AC (NOLM_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=7200) and 20 seconds # for battery and for AC with laptop mode on. # LM_AC_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=20 LM_BATT_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=20 NOLM_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=7200 # Should laptop mode tools control the hard drive power management settings? # # Set to 0 to disable CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=auto # # Power management for HD (hdparm -B values) # BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=1 LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254 NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/952556 Title: [Precise] [Hardware-killer] HD restarts every few seconds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdparm/+bug/952556/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 952556] Re: [Precise] [Hardware-killer] HD restarts every few seconds
Thanks Steve. The problem, as you said, might be coming from a combination of causes. I have tried all the numbers that are mentioned here and elsewhere but in vain. The only magic number that has worked so far while switching to battery mode, as I said earlier is: hdparm -B 128 -S 242 /dev/sda There seems to be confusion about the -B and -S options. There also seems another tool (may be laptop mode?) that changes these settings by overriding the hdparm settings. I got some hint about the above -S option from an old Fedora forum, which means the issue isn't that recent. It has been there for several years. It is a bit of a shame that a tool adopted universally by all Linux disros is causing such an issue for so long. Apparently, hdparm has lots of options, some of which very naughty if not cared for, but one important option seems faulty or messed up by something else. According to Google, this behavior has been reported in every distro forum since 2000-. Its behavior seems to change with kernel. Does acpid has a role here? This really needs further digging and shall not be left at this stage 'as solved'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/952556 Title: [Precise] [Hardware-killer] HD restarts every few seconds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdparm/+bug/952556/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

But, i have to run the above at every boot.I tried putting that in /etc/rc.locale but no success.

[Bug 952556] Re: [Precise] [Hardware-killer] HD restarts every few seconds
Steve,
My problem is, whatever number I set for apm_battery in /etc/hdparm.conf, it
gets reset to: Advanced power management level: 1
at reboot. It shows: Advanced power management level: 255 when on AC power.
This is what I have in the conf file:
/dev/sda {
apm = 255
apm_battery = 128
}

[Bug 952556] Re: [Precise] [Hardware-killer] HD restarts every few seconds
This issue is driving me crazy. I tried Setting apm_battery = 128 in /etc/hdparm.conf and it seemed to work for a while and starts the same issue again. I don't want to keep on trying options for fear of damaging my 1TB HD on my Samsung Chronos 7 laptop, that would be too much. On the extreme side, this is the kind of thing that makes people shy away from Linux. The problem has been known to be there for a while, so why not fix this imminently important issue, more important than UNITY, my two cents. If I can't use my laptop (which is supposed to give me 5+ hours battery life) on battery mode, what would be the reason for spending so much money on it and so much time on Linux. I say all this, because I Love Linux/Ubuntu and want to use it everyday. So, please fix this or at least tell us what to do so we don't end up damaging our HD.
