Package: hdparm
Version: 8.9-2
Severity: important

When resuming a laptop from suspend to ram (and probably disk too, but I
haven't tested) the /etc/default/hdparm file is not read and the commands
not executed.  That means after a suspend/resume cycle the disks is configured
differently than after a normal boot.  This is especially bad if
/etc/default/hdparm is used to disable the write back cache of the disk,
which can lead to disk corruption on an unclean shutdown when not using
barriers (which can't be used with lvm/md and are not used by default with
ext3).
