Hi everybody, I have a VIA Epia board (EX10000EG) and a pretty new Western Digital 1 Terabyte WD10EACS drive. I am running Ubuntu 7.04, but I also tested with 7.10. No laptop mode, no fiddling with ACPI, just standard setup. Harddrive ACPI is disabled in BIOS. Nevertheless, can hear the drive load/unload every few seconds, my load cycle count is 5678 after 86 hours. The commonly mentioned fix "hdparm -B 254 /dev/hda" gives me
/dev/hda: setting Advanced Power Management level to 0xFE (254) HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: Input/output error Can anyone comment on this latter issue or on the fact that I see this problem not on a laptop but on a desktop machine? By the way, mount -t debugfs none_debug /sys/kernel/debug btrace (or blktrace, for that matter) /dev/sda gives me: BLKTRACESETUP: Inappropriate ioctl for device Failed to start trace on /dev/hda2 Best regards Chrischan -- Hard drive spindown should be configurable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17216 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
