[Bug 595138] Re: Settings in /etc/hdparm.conf are not applied during boot

[Bob Harvey]

I have just updated to server edition 12.04 (because I imagine 14.04
will be along soon) and notice that the problem with not reading
settings from /etc/hdparm.conf is still there.  I guess whatever was
done in 13.04 was not backported to the LTS version.

Shame, that's what I thought LTS was for.  Looks like us server users
will have to wait to the next LTS, which means for us comment 29 should
read "6 years"!

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.
