--- Comment #25 from Jan Ritzerfeld
I disabled the spindown with CONTROL_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT=0 since a APM value of < 128 will spin down my disk no matter what idle timeout is given.
Yes, same here. I disabled it in my old 10.3 script, too. It was derived from http://en.opensuse.org/Disk_Power_Management However, there seem to be a problem with some proc values: # pm-powersave true [...] Adjusting 2.6 kernel parameters to enable laptop mode.
