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

[Jakob Unterwurzacher]

@bojo: This is not a good solution, because sleep.d scripts should
accepts some command line arguments - see /usr/share/doc/pm-
utils/HOWTO.hooks .

A good solution would be to write a script that does the hdparm-thingy and respects the pm-utils semantics. I created one, it is attached.
Copy it to /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/95hdparm-apm , chmod +x and chown root:root it. For me it works flawlessly.

Dear Steve Langasek: This bug isn't fixed until this script (or
something similar) is included in pm-utils.
