This problem seems even worse than I thought. I'm looking at the Load_Cycle_Count of my new harddrive. I see 17 spindown/spinup cycles within 12 minutes.
The output of various : $ date $ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep Load_Cycle_Count Sat Oct 27 11:17:28 CEST 2007 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 501 Sat Oct 27 11:24:46 CEST 2007 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 513 Sat Oct 27 11:28:59 CEST 2007 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 518 I turned of my laptop, booted it from ac before generating this output. To proof I'm not running in laptop mode I'm attaching the output from : $sudo laptop_mode status ** Attachment added: "$sudo laptop_mode status" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10184423/laptop_mode_status.txt -- default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
