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

[Milan]

For me, using a non-broken disk, the heads never park - I'm not using
laptop-mode. So there seems to be a problem with the broken disks that
makes them park without Linux telling them to do so, and even prevents
Linux from avoiding spinning down. Maybe Ubuntu should be able to let
the HD sleep for more than 5 sec, but this is another problem.
