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

[Dan Gilliam]

I just installed Hardy beta, and still had the same problem on my
Toshiba.  I had to go in and do the  "-B 254 fix".  And for those
debating the "Windows does it too" question, I respectfully enter that
mine does NOT do it under XP.  Only under linux.  Windows is obviously
setting it correctly, linux still isn't (unless the debian fix does
something I don't know about yet).  I'm also curious as to the pm-utils
switchover...I wonder if that whole thing might fix it.
