Comment 10 for bug 1073137

same here with a Western Digital D2502ABYS-01B7A0 either in desktop and server edition of Ubuntu 12.10.

hdparm -y and hdparm -S 12 on the command line spins down the drive, but the entry in hdpram.conf does not. The entry is

/dev/disk/by-uuid/222C6A972C6A65AF {
        spindown_time = 12
}
