[Bug 931223] [NEW] HDD spindown is very frequent

[PicMon]

Public bug reported:

On 12.04 both alpha 1 and 2, the spindown of laptop harddisk is very
frequent. Mostly few times per minute. It is annoying and I suppose it
can cause damage to the harddisk. Last but not least it does not save
battery life.

Thank you for considering to change default values.
