[Bug 1073137] Re: time-controlled spindown with hdparm

[Ismo Puustinen]

I have the same problem, except that I'm running Ubuntu 12.10. The disk
in question is Hitachi HDT721010SLA360 connected to ASUS P8H77-I
motherboard. The disk goes to standby with hdparm -y , but hdparm -S 1
(or any other number I tried) has no effect. I have a feeling that this
might be related to having the system configured in BIOS to AHCI mode
instead of PATA, but I haven't examined that further.

Title:
  time-controlled spindown with hdparm

Status in “hdparm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using a fresh Xubuntu 12.10 AMD64 on Lenovo Thinkpad with HDD in Ultrabay. The Ultrabay drive should spindown with hdparm. But in cas of using "hdparm -S" it doesn't work. Only the manual way with "hdparm -y" works. 
  In Xubuntu 12.04 works correctly and some users can confirm that it works with Ubuntu 12.10.
