Mandriva Linux Advisory MDVA-2008:047

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : laptop-mode-tools

Date : April 25, 2008

Affected: 2008.0

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

Default power management settings for hard disks may trigger

excessive load/unload cycles on some disk models, and shorten their

lifetime. This update package fixes the problem, by setting a less

aggressive hard disk power management level.
