[Breezy] It keeps shuting down my hard drive ! :-O

[Vincent Trouilliez]

Hi peeps,


I have got two hard drives, Breezy on /dev/hdb, and it's using my old
hoary /home partition on hda. So I need hda to stay spinning.
However recently Breezy decided that it would spin down hda after only
one minute and 30 seconds ! Needless to say, my poor hda drive stops all
the time and restarts as soon ! If this keeps happening for too long, I
fear that drive will fail very soon ! :-/

I tried using /etc/hdparm.conf to disable the spindown time out, but
this has no effect sadly :o(

Anyone any clue ? It's probably a power management option somewhere,
that Breezy set way too aggressively (eventhough I am using a desktop,
not a laptop), for some reason. How/where does one go to set Breezy's
power managment (or whatever the root cause is in this case) options ?!

I hope there is a workaround, otherwise I really can't use Breezy :o(



Regards,
