Package: hdparm
Version: 9.39-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
During roughly the last couple of weeks my laptop disk has stared to
continuously spin up and down excessively, resulting in hiccups in GNOME and
applications.
I'm suspecting that this might be due to hdparm introducing new settings for
apm_battery, since if I set that to 128 instead of the default 127 the
behaviours goes away (obviously).
Was there a change in this setting recently? And if so, is there any way to fix
this?
Worth noting is that setting -S 30 when -B 127 is set does not seem to help the
spinning down at all, however, if -B is 128 and -S is set to 1, it can instead
re-create the behaviour... How are these variables supposed to interact?
