How to change harddrive spindown time?
- by norpol
if I run my notebook on battery mode, ubuntu spindown my hardrive every few seconds. How can I fix that?
I have tried it with sudo hdparm -S 127 /dev/sda* but I am not able to disable the spindown and can´t find the reason for this "bug". Running Ubuntu 12.04 - Bug is since 12.04
Recent updates are installed, the problem is still recent. I can change the settings via. sudo hdparm -B 127 but if I change hdparm.conf, Ubuntu does not recognize it.
/dev/sda {
apm_battery=127
}
