GVFS does wake up sleeping drives without reason, this does cause a high amount of spin ups and spin downs. Most drives die regarding to the spin ups, also without GVFS. Really, if a drive dies it most of the times is regarding to the amount of spin ups, broken controllers etc. happen much less often. I guess everybody knows the click-clikc noise of some broken drives. This is what happens after a while, caused by the spin ups. It should take many years before a drive dies this way, but using GVFS it will die very soon, regarding to the insane wake ups. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
