This issue existed from ubuntu 9.04 -ubuntu 10.04 , the ubuntu versions i tested in my laptop. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Confirmed -- Excessive heat versus excessive parkings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399978 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If laptop's AC adapter is plugged in, the temperature of the hard disk increases very fast, up to close to 60 Celsius degrees, which is maximum, according to Western Digital specifications. and that happens without any apparent reason, I mean while browsing the Internet, reading online an article or writting emails. The number of parkings is almost constant in an hour. If the AC adapter is unplugged and only the battery is providing power, the heat is much lower, but the number of parkings is dramatically increasing, almost 15 in a minute (at each 3 or 4 seconds I can hear a click). I tried ACPI=off but it didn't help, in that case the heat was fast increasing even while running on battery only. I have a laptop Fujitsu Siemens (Esprimo Mobile V6545) with 4 GB RAM (one added by vendor), and Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. And for checking the above parameters, I used the commands: sudo hddtemp /dev/sda and respectively sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep Load_Cycle_Count . It is so frustating that I think I can't let that continue anymore and try another OS. Please help. Thanks.
