Bug Description

Binary package hint: hdparm

Configurations made in /etc/hdparm.conf are ignored. I configured my external harddisk (connected using eSATA) to power down after 60 minutes:

/dev/sdc {
 spindown_time = 242
}

This setting ist ignored. When manually setting the Idle timeout (hdparm -S 242 /dev/sdc) everything works as expected.
