Hi,

Worse, a few (or most) laptops have the default behavior of park heads
about 3 or 4 times in a minute. This is fixed in my laptop with "hdparm"
but using "-B254" instead of "-B255".

I added a line in "hdparm.conf" for my disk with "apm = 254". Also
changed "power.sh" to set "-B254" instead of "-B255". It's not needed to
add anything for suspend/hibernate because "power.sh" will be called in
resume.

Regards,

    Pedro
