There definitely is something wrong with my hard disk. I updated the Bios from Fujitsu site but same things happen. The periodical clicks at each 4 seconds and high temperatures. They decrease after I unplugg the AC adapter and use only the battery.
I want to mention that there is a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/374121 which is similar to mine but there is no solution apparently. And another one, older: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 And finally I was shocked to find: http://www.google.ro/search?hl=en&q=Load+cycles+in+Ubuntu&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq= SOMETHING MUST be done because a laptop is expensive and people cannot afford to buy hard disks just like that.... I like Ubuntu and recommended to all coleagues and friends, but this bug it's too serious to be neglected. How can it be solved? And before that, how can I be sure that it is that bug in my case and not another? I have Ubuntu 9.04, Jaunty, I updated yesterday everything with Update Manager, I don't know what's going on with the hard disk. So: iotop -o (after previously installed iotop) gives me, for a fraction of a second, commands like: gnome power management, kjournald, pidgin and one or two more. But each dissapeared very quickly. The Command column is empty now, for a long time has been empty. The temperature (sudo hddtemp /dev/sda) is 48 Celsius degrees now. I remarked (repeating it) that the temperature starts decreasing after I unplugg the AC adapter so that the laptop is running on battery only. But it was 58 Celsius degree, with Pidgin running only. The annoying click of the hard disk can be heard at each 3 or 4 seconds. The hard disk is WD3200BEVT.

Something is wrong, and I believe it is related to acpi and power management and/or with the parking bug. --- On Thu, 7/2/09, Philip Muskovac <[email protected]> wrote: From: Philip Muskovac <[email protected]> Subject: [Bug 394826] Re: HDD unusual high temperature and activity in Ubuntu Jaunty To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, July 2, 2009, 2:11 PM Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please check which process is accessing the drive with 'iotop'? For this you need to install it first. Then open a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and then run iotop -o you will then find the process being displayed in the COMMAND field when it accesses the disk. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- HDD unusual high temperature and activity in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394826 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.
