Hard Drive

[Eric Allen]

I can't get my hard drive to spin down, it runs continously even when not in use. I've tried google and "hdparm -B255 -S170 /dev/sda" and get no where. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04LTS and the hard drive is a western digital ATA WDC WD3200BPVT-OOHXZT3 WD-WXU1CA1R0673. I've also edited the /etc/rc.local and the /etc/hdparm.conf to show the hdparm as above mentioned. I'm trying to get it to spin down and take a "break" so to speak when not in use because the laptop is getting hot on the lower right corner where the HD is located. The HD is running around 115 degrees.
