Package: hal
Version: 0.5.7-1
Severity: important
When hald is running, the disk activity LED blinks constantly at a quick
high frequence, with apparently perfect regularity. The delay between
each activity appears to be 2 seconds. This happens on 3 Etch boxes on 4
tested. 2 of those are laptops of the same model, which have a LED that
blinks for polls to the optical drive too. I don't think the LED of the other
box which tested positive has a
LED that blinks on optical drive activity, but I'm not sure (I can verify
that easily if needed).
I have no clue about HAL and did not try to see if the problem could be
solved with some workaround. All I know is that the problem
appears/disappears on /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal start/stop.
I did not try to strace hal or anything to determine if a specific file
is being written to constantly (I don't know how to determine whether
the activity is from the hard drive or optical drive polls), but I'm
willing to do that provided instructions (although I wish that doesn't
involve using a custom kernel).
This is most likely an upstream, but I couldn't see any bug regarding this in
upstream's BTS after a quick scan.
If you think the severity looks inflated, I've posted a severity
explanation of a similar bug on #308603.
I have first noticed this bug at least 2 weeks ago.
