I reported a couple of related bugs : laptop-mode-tools uses hparm -B 255 instead of 254 please sync laptop-mode-tools from Debian to fix this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/laptop-mode-tools/+bug/172282
hdparm's feedback about -B values is misleading https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdparm/+bug/172287 laptop-mode can't be enabled by default because using laptop-mode causes system hangs for some people https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/laptop-mode-tools/+bug/172293 -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime 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
