Like i said, There were no changes in Start_Stop_Count or Load_Cycle_Count. The value that stands out (to me) is Head_Flying_Hours, which means "Time spent during the positioning of the drive head". The noise i hear is the heads parking, not the disk spinning. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
