Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
After upgrading from edgy to feisty, my hard drive is now much louder when it
is being accessed.
If I select the old (edgy) kernel on startup, it is quiet again. (I think the
kernel versions are 2.6.20 and 2.6.17).
To try and describe the sound, I would say normally the hard drive makes a
fairly dull sound when being accessed, but now it is a much louder,
higher-pitched sound, more like what I remember the hard drive in my old 286
sounding like.
I do not think this is a duplicate of bug 67810 or 17878, becuase the noise is
only present when I do something that makes the hard drive work hard.
For example, on startup or when opening F-Spot. Similar tasks under edgy
were/are much quieter.
I'm using a SATA drive (Seagate ST3250823AS), on an nForce 4
motherboard, running the AMD64 version.
I have tried adding "noatime" to /etc/fstab, which didn't seem to make a
difference.
It was also suggested I disable the swap partition, this also made no
difference.
