I finished writing a simple Shell script for monitoring the disk-head activity.Once started , it beeps if the number of parks exceed a preset limit , within the given interval of time.You need to have beep installed for it to work.
P.S : - Running smartctl usually brings the disk out of idle , so don't set the interval to a very small value.Also , the script needs to be run with sudo. ** Attachment added: "i.sh" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14084340/i.sh -- 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
