And I still got 6 load/unload hard drive cycles per minute!
It's somethin different betwean 8.10 and 8.04! Under 8.04 I had only those
scripts and load/unload was only on PowerOff.
Help!

I have enabled all options that You described.
I have enabled all settings from:
https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/PowerManage ment
And:
# IDLE_TIMEOUT_ SECONDS= 7200) and 20 IDLE_TIMEOUT_ SECONDS= 7200 HD_IDLE_ TIMEOUT_ SECONDS= 300 IDLE_TIMEOUT_ SECONDS= 7200
# Idle timeout values. (hdparm -S)
# Default is 2 hours on AC (NOLM_HD_
seconds
# for battery and for AC with laptop mode on.
#
LM_AC_HD_
LM_BATT_
NOLM_HD_
# POWERMGMT= 200 POWERMGMT= 255 HD_POWERMGMT= 255
# Power management for HD (hdparm -B values)
#
BATT_HD_
LM_AC_HD_
NOLM_AC_
And I put this script:
http:// launchpadlibrar ian.net/ 12024037/ 90-hdparm. sh
Into:
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/
And I still got 6 load/unload hard drive cycles per minute!
It's somethin different betwean 8.10 and 8.04! Under 8.04 I had only those
scripts and load/unload was only on PowerOff.
