ok tried updating to the newer version of hdparm (hdparm_9.27-2_amd64) this seems to work ok and the hdparm.conf is used during boot
hdparm -S24 /dev/sda this sets the drive standby time to 2 mins
i use sudo hdparm -C /dev/sda after 2-3 minutes but always returns
drive state is: active/idle
the drive never spinsdown
i have always used hdparm on 8.04 with no problems why with 10.04 this no longer works?
