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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package acpi-support - 0.109-0hardy1

---------------
acpi-support (0.109-0hardy1) hardy-proposed; urgency=low

  * Cherry-pick hdparm fixes from intrepid:
    - ac.d/90-hdparm.sh, battery.d/90-hdparm.sh, resume.d/90-hdparm.sh,
      start.d/90-hdparm.sh: Set hdparm power management to 254 for all
      hard drives, ignoring errors while detecting if APM is supported.
      Set hdparm -B 128 while on battery, because head parking is useful
      on the road for shock protection.
    - power.sh: use 254 instead of 255 also when laptop mode is in use;
      this handling is obsoleted entirely in intrepid and beyond, but
      we'll take a minimally-intrusive fix for hardy.
    LP: #59695.
