I have that one running on my laptop. It works for the first few hours,
but then the disc spins up and hasn't the chance to spin down again.
I'm not sure whether it's the fault of the mobile-update itself, or
whether there's another task interfering. However I can't accept that
there's that much "cleaning" to be done by Linux after a few hours of
usage that the disc has to spin.
Any comments?
