You have been subscribed to a public bug: 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: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- [Wily] wakes up green drives without a valid reason https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1484497 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
