Re: Tool for detecting partition superblocks needed
Hi all,
On 3 Oct, this message from Benjamin Cama echoed through cyberspace:

I can totally confirm Benjamin's analysis.
I also have lost a disk (2.5" Seagate Momentus 5400.2) to the
load/unload problem. It was used in a Mac Mini running as a server (thus
powered on 24x7).
As said, the solution to this is setting the power management
configuration via hdparm's -B option.
There are a few options:
- laptop-mode-tools
- /etc/default/hdparm
- pbbuttonsd
All of them include ways to set hdparm options.
Cheers
