It's worth noting that even without laptop_mode some drives are just really bad at this. I had a Samsung 80GB drive that under any OS would park & spin down fairly aggressivly, but as soon as *ANY* power saving was enabled on the drive it would always spin down in 5 seconds (Unsurprisingly it died in less then 8 months, quick even for my average of ~ 1 year). The only real potential solution is to work out a per model scale factor, but just upping the default might mask it enough to be effective. -- default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
