Title:
  Settings in /etc/hdparm.conf are not applied during boot

Status in “hdparm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: hdparm

  After upgrade to Lucid the hard drives never spindown. The hdparm
  spindown settings (and most likely others) in /etc/hdparm.conf are not
  being applied during boot.

  This seems to have happened after removing the init.d script.
