How can you say a fix was released?

My notebook's hard drive is still getting hundreds(!) of load cycles a day, whether plugged in or not, because it's not at 255. The old way to change it (in the old laptop-mode-related hdparm config files) didn't fix this. hdparm.conf AFAIK is not executed on suspend/resume. WHERE in laptop-mode-tools can the -B be configured to be set to 255 (or 254 or whatever) unconditionally?

I have been avoiding using my notebook for weeks now waiting on a fix. I've changed laptop-mode.conf to 254 even on battery (and then rebooted), and the age-old ubuntu problem of 100+ load cycles an hour (until a fix is found) is still occurring. You are causing damage to people's machines by not fixing this!
