[Bug 59695] Re: High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime

[ethanay]

Brian:  I've replaced the old config.d/disk and power.d/disk files with
the updated ones and made them executable as you've directed, and the
APM level is still reset back to 128 after resume from
suspend/hibernate.

Since I can manually enter
sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
in a terminal and change the APM value in order to stop the excessive load/unload cycling, I guess I am experiencing the same bug.

But either the scripts aren't working at all, or something else is
overriding them.  I don't know what this could be, or what additional
information to provide.  Is it possible that it's just a setting
somewhere that I have to change, or that I am experiencing another bug
on top of all this?
