Well, actually, I just discovered that my Western Digital (WD15EARS) drive suffers from the dreaded Load_Cycle_Count syndrome (parked/unparked heads once every 8 seconds for the last two years). Color me stupid. But live and learn. I'm too embarassed to give you my load cycle count, but if I had as many euros as I do cycles, I'd be living in luxury down on the Côte d'Azur. I downloaded and compiled idle3-tools-0.9.1 and disabled the idle timer. Powered down. Powered up. smartctl -A /dev/sda reveals that I'm not getting richer anymore. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
