Title:
  /etc/hdparm.conf is ignored

Status in “hdparm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: hdparm

  Configurations made in /etc/hdparm.conf are ignored. I configured my
  external harddisk (connected using eSATA) to power down after 60
  minutes:

  /dev/sdc {
  	spindown_time = 242
  }

  This setting ist ignored. When manually setting the Idle timeout
  (hdparm -S 242 /dev/sdc) everything works as expected.
