But in Ubuntu 8.10 there are no good method for me to stop load/unload hard
drive cycles when I switch off AC cable and work my MSI VR610 Laptop on
Battery.
In the same configuration I had under Ubuntu 8.04 with no load cycles except
TurnOff... Now under Ubuntu 8.10 I have 6 load cycles per minute! It's too
much in my opinion.
Please describe good method to slow down cycles under Ubuntu 8.10!

For me best solution in Hardy was:
Put:
http:// launchpadlibrar ian.net/ 12024037/ 90-hdparm. sh
In:
/home/[User_name]
And next:
sudo install 90-hdparm.sh /etc/acpi/resume.d/ battery. d/
sudo install 90-hdparm.sh /etc/acpi/start.d/
sudo install 90-hdparm.sh /etc/acpi/ac.d/
sudo install 90-hdparm.sh /etc/acpi/
It was only way to hold load/unload hard drive cycles.
Any other methods discribed in: /wiki.ubuntu. com/PowerManage ment
https:/
Failed.
