We are talking about wear and tear, not drives catching fire. It's expected that a drive will break eventually, and load cycling is just a (relatively new) way that drives can reach end of life. However, the crux of this bug is that Ubuntu is, by default, causing _excessive_ wear and tear on

Bart, Disabling the APM feature of a drive can never be a fix. Parking the drives is a feature of the disk, and the The Load_Cycle_Count is supposed to go up, albeit slowly, during normal usage. The point of this bug is that the pathological worst case for load cycling is one access every 30

The Debian update is the workaround not the fix: * Set hdparm power management to 254 for all hard drives. I'd be happier to see the known idle-writers fixed first, so we can start finding out what else causes the problem. I'm concerned that with a workaround in place this will get neglected

I've done some investigation, and I think the hard drive killing bug that has been infamous lately is caused by bug 31512. See my comments there for the rationale, but essentially the problem boils down to a process writing to the disk once every 15 seconds or so (the actual interval is probably

This is causing bug 59695 (the infamous laptop-killing bug), or rather, is the actual cause of the drive problem. On my laptop, ACPID gets a battery event roughly every 15 seconds, each of these produces a write to the log file. Laptop hard drives seem to be set up for bursty I/O (a reasonably
