[Bug 59695] Re: High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime

[Mark Baas]

I recommend using the following page for hardy:
http://en.opensuse.org/Disk_Power_Management

It does not turn off power management, but in turn it will put it on 254 when on power and higher (click every 20 minutes) when on battery.
 Here are my script for /etc/pm/config.d
