[Bug 110995] Re: Hard drive noise with applications
I have to same problem on my Dell Vostro 1500 with a FUJITSU harddisk. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy Heron. I also tried to make the harddisk less noisy with hdparm -M 128 but it doesn't work. :-( -- Hard drive noise with applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 110995] Re: Hard drive noise with applications
Hi Brian. I've installed Gutsy Gibbon and I'm using it. The problem is still present. When Ubuntu starts ,or when I launch an application like Firefox or OpenOffice, the hard drive start working an clicking pretty hard. As always, under Vista the hard disk is very silent instead. There's also the other problem. Sometimes (it happens apparently without any motivation) the hdd starts making a "click" every 4 seconds, even if I'm not using the notebook. It seems me that it happens not because the HDD is working, but because the arm of the read-and-write head doesn't go in the correct position. I've heard that many other people with a notebook and a SATA HDD have this problem too, especially the second one. If you need other informations, please ask me. If you think that it could be useful, I can make an audio registration of the hard disk drive under windows and under Ubuntu. Thank you very much. -- Hard drive noise with applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 110995] Re: Hard drive noise with applications
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug does not meet the criteria for a stable release update and is being marked as Won't Fix for this particular version of the kernel. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . However, the issue that you reported is one that should be possible to test with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Gutsy Gibbon. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed kernel. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . If you do decide to test with the development release of Ubuntu please comment on this bug report and include at least the minimal information requested at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks again and we appreciate your help. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- Hard drive noise with applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information. Please include as attachments the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team: 1. Please include the output of the command 'uname -a' in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture. 2. Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.log' and attach the resulting file 'dmesg.log' to this bug report. 3. Please run the command 'sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log' and attach the resulting file 'lspci-vvnn.log' to this bug report.

By doing sudo laptop_mode start I can at least reduce the clicking frequency from previously 5 seconds, which was extremely annoying, to now may be once per minute or even less.

[Bug 110995] Re: Hard drive noise with applications
I have an identical issue, but in my case it only happens on my SATA drives (it happened with 2 different drives from different makers). The most strange thing is that it seems that only happens when i start apps, not when i read/write data files. I finally move all Linux installations to my old ATA drives and /home/* and others file storages to SATA, a scheme that reduced a lot the noise. btw, not a clicking, but a loud trrrt-trrrt-trrrt continuously, that not happens with much older and cheaper drives. -- Hard drive noise with applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
