Can't we just let the hard drive park and then stop writing to it for a while so it doesn't spin back up again? The main problem app for writing to the hard drive is apparently Network Manager, which craps up the system logs with useless messages several times a minute. (Bug #294190) Surely there's a way to limit the frequency with which logs are written to the disk by buffering them in memory first? -- 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
