Okay, i read the abovementioned bugreport again, and now more carefully :) apparently, the patch is already (partly*) in 2.6.20 , but it is sort of not activated. However, this can be done manually.
For me the following procedure removed the unhealthy 'click'; sudo -i echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_disk/0\:0\:0\:0/stop_on_shutdown (repeat this for all your disks, replace 0\:0\:0\:0/ ) However, this setting is lost when rebooting, that's why optimally the default setting has to be changed, which is; /sys/module/sd_mod/parameters/stop_on_shutdown_default, then all the disks should follow this setting. This is set somewhere at bootup, but I don't know where or when, this can't be to hard, though. So, as far as I can see there is a simple solution for the 2.6.20 case, the edgy people aren't helped by this however... Cheers, Martijn BTW why does the upstream 7838 status say 'rejected' , while it actually is; resolved / code_fix ?? *partly; "SCSI part is committed into mainline. libata part is still pending. This can appear in mainline 2.6.22 at the earliest." -- The SATA disk doesn't power off while shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
