Hallo zusammen,

 vor ein paar Tagen bin ich darüber gestolpert:

 =====  =====

 - http://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Known_issues:

 - Drives which perform frequent head unloads under Linux

Problem Description

Some ATA harddrives perform very frequent head unloads under Linux
significantly shortening their lifespans.

Root cause

The inactivity timer for head unload is configured too aggressively
either via ATA APM (Advanced Power Management) feature or other
non-standard means. Such aggressive settings are very fragile to
changes in IO pattern and under Linux many such drives unload their
heads only to re-load them shortly. Note that this relentless
unloading/reloading cycle can also be triggered under Windows by
installing programs which can alter the IO pattern (e.g. certain
vaccine programs which runs in background).
