This BUG started to popup on my screen only recently. One of the latest updates
must have brought it with it. But now, it seems persistent at startup.
Thanks

Dear any interested,
I just found out that the hdparm -B and -S parameters were being overridden by
the laptop_mode-tools. Whenever I put my laptop on battery after using it on
AC, its hdparm values set at boot time are overridden by the settings inside
the following file (if you have laptop_mo
Thanks Steve. The problem, as you said, might be coming from a
combination of causes. I have tried all the numbers that are mentioned
here and elsewhere but in vain. The only magic number that has worked so
far while switching to battery mode, as I said earlier is:
hdparm -B 128 -S 242 /dev/sda
T
sudo hdparm -B 128 -S 242 /dev/sda
this seems to make my HD happy. no spinning, no nagging, excellent battery life
(+5 hours) , ...
But, i have to run the above at every boot.I tried putting that in
/etc/rc.locale but no success. I can live with this at least for now, with the

Steve,
My problem is, whatever number I set for apm_battery in /etc/hdparm.conf, it
gets reset to: Advanced power management level: 1
at reboot. It shows: Advanced power management level: 255 when on AC power.
This is what I have in the conf file:
/dev/sda {
apm = 255
apm_battery
Thank you for the final release. In fact, I installed it earlier (just before
it was removed for validation) and apt-get tells me that I have the latest
release. If so, my problem,sadly, is not fixed by this release. I don't know
What to do next with this critical problem.
I noticed in the devel
Sorry Steve.
I was just checking and clicked on it inadvertently. But, I was surprised that
I (a no dev member) could modify it. I am still hoping that the release will
fix my persistent and annoying HD issue.
Best

If that helps, the spinning seems less aggressive while on iGPU mode:
I have currently AMD Catalyst 12.4 installed on my machine

The spin becomes more frequent when on the dedicated graphi
Hi Martin,
Thank you. I just installed it after adding ubuntu-proposed to my
'software sources' and running:
sudo apt-get update
sudo aptitude install hdparm/precise-proposed
I accepted to install hdparm v9.37ubuntu3.1
sudo reboot
dd@dd01:~$ sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep "power management"
after setting apm_battery=128 in my /etc/hdparm.conf
as well as in /lib/hdparm/hdparm-functions:
if hdparm_is_on_battery; then
hdparm_set_option -B128
Here is what I get with sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda
Advanced power management level: 1

The above two comments were written at the same time independently. This

This issue is driving me crazy. I tried Setting "apm_battery = 128" in
/etc/hdparm.conf and it seemed to work for a while and starts the same
issue again. I don't want to keep on trying options for fear of damaging
my 1TB HD on my Samsung Chronos 7 laptop, that would be too much.
