Folks, Just noticed that since I installed RHEL 6 back in Nov, my laptop hard disk (from a new T410) has gone through about 200,000 cycles, as confirmed by the smartctl -a /dev/sda command. (If I remember right, hard drives expire at around 600,000 cycles.)
(In contrast, the oldest hard drive my server on which I installed RHEL 5 a year ago has gone through 228 cycles.) As this seems reminiscent of an Ubuntu 8.04 issue (ref https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 ), I've been experimenting with different hdparm readahead settings without much success (yet). I don't see a Red Hat bug on the subject -- has anyone here seen one, or has gone through a similar issue? Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list
