Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntp
On my full-fledged 7.04, "noatime" idle laptop, ntpd is the *ONLY*
daemon writing a few times per minute on the disk, preventing it to go
to sleep (for more than a few seconds). Even when an xfce session is
open, ntpd is the only one keeping the hard disk spinning.
The fix is trivial : reduce stats frequency in the default /etc/ntp.conf
file shipped. I brutally removed all stats-related lines in ntp.conf and
my hard disk stays asleep. Test successfully performed with a
synchronized and communicating ntpd daemon.
** Affects: ntp (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
