This bug has reappeared, when GNOME Sensors Applet (sensors-applet) is monitoring hddtemp, which I think is the default when sensors-applet is added to a GNOME panel. This is on a laptop with laptop-mode enabled, and occurs when on battery. It prevents the disk from spinning down, or causes it to spin back up immediately afterward.
To reproduce, in Intrepid: -Add GNOME Sensors Applet to the gnome panel. -While on battery power, run blktrace and see hddtemp causing disk activity several times per minute. To fix: -Under "Sensors Applet Preferences", disable hddtemp monitoring. -- running hddtemp causes unnecessary disk activity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160621 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
