Public bug reported: Hi,
a minimalist Wily server install, around 4.5 GiB small does cause endless spin downs and spin ups, so that green drives get damaged. I maintain an around 37.5 GiB large Arch Linux install, quasi using the same software used by the Wily install and in addition a little bit more software, which isn't used by the Wily install. For Arch Linux I don't experience this issue. I expect the same for an Ubuntu install. I'm already hunting the culprit, see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-August/006570.html and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-August/006571.html, but run out of ideas. The claim the install is 2 GiB small is a typo, the backup archive is of that size. However, assumed Ubuntu won't contribute to http://andrewmcconnell.photoshelter.com/gallery/G0000oLuiBLHIsmM this "feature" should be removed from the defaults. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch) Release: 15.10 Regards, Ralf ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1484497 Title: [Wily] wakes up green drives without a valid reason To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1484497/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
