Looking at the hdparm entries in power.sh, I can't see how they can be executed anyway even if laptop mode is on. The /sys filespec in the for loop doesn't appear to correspond to the current layout of the filesystem (at least on my Gutsy installation here).
Therefore all control must come from laptop-mode.conf if laptop mode is switched on. Is a quick workaround for this problem to set some sensible HD spin down and power management parameters in laptop-mode.conf and tell people to switch laptop-mode on if they are having disk problems? -- Hard drive spindown should be configurable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17216 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
