Bug Description
I think that hdparm 8.6 from Debian unstable should get merged into Hardy, because it fixes quite some bugs and adds useful new features (e.g. to test for media errors).
Debian has added a nice wrapper in 8.3-1, which allows to give spindown times in seconds, minutes or hours. See http://
I think this makes handling of bug 59695 for users a lot easier!
The merge from Debian fixes also bug 156893, because Debian has integrated the patch.
Debian changelog since current version in Ubuntu:
hdparm (8.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version
* Udev rule can also match for sata devices (closes: #471401)
