As a temporary workaround for disk spindown I added the following to "/etc/rc.local".
# workaround for hdparm disk spindown in 10.04 (echo "\n$(date)" && for devname in $(cat /etc/hdparm.conf | grep -o "/dev/sd[a-z]"); do export DEVNAME="$devname" && (/lib/udev/hdparm || true); done) >> /var/log/hdparm_fix.log This looks into "/etc/hdparm.conf", gets all "sd*" device names and then runs "/lib/udev/hdparm" script in the same way the "/lib/udev/rules.d/85-hdparm.rules" rule does. This helps to set the settings I have in "/etc/hdparm.conf" during boot. For new devices plugged into the system after boot, the standard rule should work just fine. In case if anybody uses it, check the "/var/log/hdparm_fix.log" after boot to make sure it set the settings you have in your config. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: hdparm After upgrade to Lucid the hard drives never spindown. The hdparm spindown settings (and most likely others) in /etc/hdparm.conf are not being applied during boot. This seems to have happened after removing the init.d script. + lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 + apt-cache policy hdparm hdparm: - Installed: 9.15-1ubuntu9 - Candidate: 9.15-1ubuntu9 - Version table: - *** 9.15-1ubuntu9 0 - 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 9.15-1ubuntu9 + Candidate: 9.15-1ubuntu9 + Version table: + *** 9.15-1ubuntu9 0 + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + + + cat /etc/hdparm.conf + /dev/sda { + spindown_time = 240 + } + /dev/sdb { + spindown_time = 240 + } + /dev/sdc { + spindown_time = 240 + } + /dev/sdd { + spindown_time = 240 + } + /dev/sde { + spindown_time = 240 + } + /dev/sdf { + spindown_time = 240 + } + /dev/sdg { + spindown_time = 240 + } -- Settings in /etc/hdparm.conf are not applied during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/595138 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
