Just an observation: I've run through the diagnostics to see if this bug is affecting me, currently I am at 20.790403139 loads per hour (233102 loads / 11212 hours powered on)
While my hard drive is idling, and the hard drive parks, it spins back up _immediately_ , _every_ time. The estimated load count for my drive (ST9100824AS) is 600,000, so I'm only a little a head of schedule (I have been running Windows XP/Vista before Ubuntu on this drive.) Wouldn't one presume that a hard drive park = it isn't being used = it would stay parked longer? -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
