Package: kde Version: 4:3.1.2 Severity: minor Parts of KDE fsync after writing as a result disks on laptops cannot be spun down.
One component that definitely does it is the organizer/alarm which touches its file at least once a minute and fsyncs after that. There is also another component which touches $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals While mostly cosmetic it is definitely annoying to the point where I am tempted to rebuild the entire thing with fsync redefined as "do nothing". -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-c3v2full Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages kde depends on: ii kde-amusements 4:3.1.2 The K Desktop Environment (Games a ii kde-core 4:3.1.2 The K Desktop Environment (Core) ii kdeaddons 4:3.2.3-2 add-on plugins and applets provide ii kdeadmin 4:3.2.2-1 KDE Administration tools metapacka ii kdeartwork 4:3.2.3-2 themes, styles and more from the o ii kdegraphics 4:3.2.3-1.1 KDE Graphics metapackage ii kdemultimedia 4:3.2.2-1 KDE Multimedia metapackage ii kdenetwork 4:3.2.2-1 KDE Network metapackage ii kdepim 4:3.2.2-2 KDE Personal Information Managemen ii kdeutils 4:3.2.2-2 KDE Utilities metapackage ii quanta 1:3.2.2-1 web development environment for KD -- no debconf information
