Checking the values in /lib/hdparm/hdparm-functions on a Linux Mint 12 (dual-boot installed on my EeePC), Mint 12 being based on Ubuntu Oneiric.

The default "battery mode" value for -B is "128" instead of "127" on Ubuntu Precise.

So it seems that this shift from "128" to "127", allowing disk spindown (much much much too often), has serious and undesired consequences on all of my 3 laptops...
