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

[Jakob Unterwurzacher]

What if you set "apm = 64" in hdparm.conf? Is it overwritten with 254 by the acpi-support script? Please file a new bug then, this one is already far too long...
If setting the apm level in hdparm.conf works it's not a real problem IMO as users need to edit hdparm.conf anyway to get the spindown. Caring about the old apm value isn't really possible as it varies wildy among drives, while meaning wildly different things.
