after updating my laptop today [0] (no testing enabled) i notice

so.
might this be related to the update or where can i stop this?
somehow it resolved itself today. now hdd is running continuously again.
If it happens again, you can check this with:
hdparm -B /dev/sdx
If it's spinning down too often, try:
hdparm -B 254 /dev/sdx
thank you for your advice.
hdparm -B /device returns 254 to me now, thats quire expected, because
now everything works fine.
i wonder, how/whether it could have been altered yesterday.
do programs like powertop touch those values?
