The meaning of these values is very implementation-dependent. As the hdparm(8) manpage says, 1-127 "permit spin-down", and 128-254 "do not permit spin-down"; other than that, there's no requirement for different values to give different results, except that the lower the number the more aggressive the power management. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
