Hello everybody I used the 99-hdd-spin-fix.sh method to save my hard drive which had reached 12838 cycles. I also copied 99-hdd-spin-fix.sh into battery.d, added the "hdparm -B 255 /dev/hda" into /etc/rc.local and commented the evil line « $HDPARM -B 1 /dev/$drive 2>/dev/null» in /etc/acpi/power.sh. Is that ok? My concerns are these: · are there any danger with the power management turned off (hdparm -B 255) for my hard drive? · how is it possible that such serious bug is still unsolved. · I came to know this bug just by chance...imho there is no enough information about that...I mean in the main pages of ubuntu site.
