Isn't that workaround meant for people with pm-utils ?The folder /etc/pm
does not exist by default.
Anyway , I executed hdparm with -B 200 and -S 242 , and well , my hard
drive just doesn't respond to them.It keeps working as it would on -B 128.
I suspect the firmware to my Hard disk is buggy.Can you send more
details of your Hard disks ?
