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

[Botond Szász]

@SirLancelot:

ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true in /etc/default/acpi-support seems to work, my
load cycle counter doesn't increase any more.

CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1 in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf was already
set in Intrepid, but you should take a look.

After setting these a restart is required to apply.

Hope it helps. It worked on my Inspiron 1525.
