As far as disks getting hot, 42 - 57 is pretty normal for most disks. 57-60 is pushing it, and and above 60 is excessive.
The largest threat for disks isn't from heat, it's from the load/unload cycles (although there should be some kind of shutdown mechanism for hd temp, if there's not). Using the /etc/pm/<config.d/power.d>/disk files works fine for me. System not running hot, and not having problems with the hd cycles. -Brian -- 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
