Bug Description
Binary package hint: laptop-mode-tools
I have laptop mode tools to be on all the time, on ac and battery because I want to lower the rate of increase load cycles.
The problem I'm facing is even after a clean reboot and left the computer to idle, my hard drive will keep on spinning regardless of what's happening! My cpu pretty much are at 1 percent. But the hard drive are spinning all the time. If I force them to sleep, they stay in that state for a while before they are fired up!
Yes..I have configuration-
The laptop-mode-tool is also attached along with configuration-
Note, I have enabled all the conf.d. I only changed the 0 to 1 to enable it, haven't went any further in the while with the fear of crashing my system which won't be nice.
I always forget to post my system
