The bug still exists in any ubuntu (9.04/9.10, x86) and I'm using a desktop computer with two WD6401AALS drives. Every minute, or every few minutes, four clicks occur. This is annoying to say the least, and if it will go on, I will simply walk away from linux. I have tried every solution (enabling laptop mode, setting hdparm -B 254/255), but the bug still persists. And I'm using a DESKTOP computer. F*ck. This is not fixed, but plaguing high and low. Please, I need a solution other than going back to windows!
