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

[Igor Vatavuk]

I didn't try laptop-mode but I shouldn't have to, the fix was for acpi-
support, hdparm should be 254 while laptop is on AC.

quote:
acpi-support (0.111) intrepid; urgency=low
  * ac.d/90-hdparm.sh, battery.d/90-hdparm.sh, resume.d/90-hdparm.sh,
    start.d/90-hdparm.sh: Set hdparm power management to 254 for all hard
    drives. Ignore errors while detecting of APM is supported. Set
    hdparm -B 128 while on battery in 90-hdparm.sh. Head parking is useful
    on the road for shock protection. Still set hdparm -B 254 while on AC.
