ok tried updating to the newer version of hdparm (hdparm_9.27-2_amd64) this seems to work ok and the hdparm.conf is used during boot
hdparm -S24 /dev/sda this sets the drive standby time to 2 mins i use sudo hdparm -C /dev/sda after 2-3 minutes but always returns drive state is: active/idle the drive never spinsdown i have always used hdparm on 8.04 with no problems why with 10.04 this no longer works? -- [Lucid] hdparm.conf change doesn't have effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
