I can confirm that Start_Stop_Count doesn't increment any more, which is nice, but Load_Cycle_Count still increments by about 1-10 per minute.
I set apm_battery = 254 in /etc/hdparm.conf now, which stops Load_Cycle_Count from incrementing, so that is fine. But isn't this the wrong solution? I guess it is a good idea to park the heads after some inactivity, wouldn't it be better to prevent Linux from writing to disk so frequently, causing the heads to be quickly unparked? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/952556 Title: [Precise] [Hardware-killer] HD restarts every few seconds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdparm/+bug/952556/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
