--- Comment #73 from Tejun Heo
After reading storage-fixup.conf, seems that -B 255 is being used but, after reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DanielHahler/Bug59695 , seems that some drives would need -B 254 instead. Also laptop-mode-tools now uses 254 instead of 255 from 1.35 version as can be read in http://samwel.tk/laptop_mode/changelog
Also, Is fully disabling Power Manager really needed? Wouldn't it cause some problems related with overheat or short battery lifetime?
As discussed above, no one value suits every drive. I hope it were like that but the standard isn't too specific about which value means exactly what. Furthermore, this is ATA and vendors often forget to follow the spec. So, for some drives, 255 is a good value for others 254, yet others 128. That's why storage-fixup matches specific machines and use appropriate commands. We'll need to find out which value is the appropriate one for specific machine and add it machine-by-machine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
