This bug is _not_ fixed for me in up-to-date intrepid with the -proposed repository enabled. I log cycles and temperature using the script that I attached to this bug
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20449344/watch_load_cycles This morning, I had 135 cycles in one hour. Smartctl reports the following identification for my disk: === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Hitachi Travelstar 5K100 series Device Model: HTS541080G9SA00 Serial Number: MPBDL0XKGB63RG Firmware Version: MB4OC60R User Capacity: 80,026,361,856 bytes Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 7 ATA Standard is: ATA/ATAPI-7 T13 1532D revision 1 Local Time is: Mon Jan 12 21:42:35 2009 CET SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability. SMART support is: Enabled I had to re-enable a periodic (every 5 minutes) use of hdparm -b 200. Using 254 seems ok to me, but sometimes it seems like intrepid is _not_ setting this value at the right point. I use suspend-to-ram and suspend- to-disk regularly. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
