I have combined all active threads about the "laptop harddrive Load_Cycle_Count issue" on the ubuntuforums.
People who have support questions can ask them here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591503 Should I encourage people who seem to be suffering from this problem and have "WORST" values very close to the "THRESHOLD" to reply to this bug report ? I can ask them for the following information : * whether they have enabled laptop-mode * the output of $sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda * the age of the disk * an estimate of the total hours the disk has been running since you started using it (to compare to Power_on_Hours because that value might be off) * an estimate of the average increase of Load_Cycle_Count during one hour on AC (before applying any “ugly fixes") * Load_Cycle_Count trends. for example by : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3683526&postcount=270 You can find an example of information I got from users (I quoted them) here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/17216/comments/20 -- Hard drive spindown should be configurable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17216 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
