This bug has still not been fixed in 22.04 as of 13/12/2022.

I run Ubuntu on a SSD and mount four spindle drives in a RAID 5. So, this bug wakes up my RAID array every time I SSH in. The workaround suggested here causes wear on the SSD. So, unless I completely disable this script or fix the bug myself, I'm faced with a choice of it either causing wear and tear on my spindle drives or wear and tear on my SSD.

I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem and I wonder how many spindle drives around the world are being unnecessarily woken up by this easily fixable bug.
