Public bug reported: first of im a linux newbie, so i may explain this wrong.
I think this may be the same bug that has been marked as fixed about a year ago (bug 59695). The problem occurs when the harddrive is idle. I can hear it click periodically (15 - 30 sec in between) and the SMART load/unload cycle count rise by about 10-15 every minute (its on 241019 now, so i suspect its still not resolved in Ubuntu 9.10, which i was running before) My harddrive is a Samsung MP0804H and i have disabled harddrive spindown in the power management. I have never and do not experience this problem in Windows XP, so i find it unlikely its a (pending) hardware failure. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- harddrive clicking and loadcycles increase fast in ubuntu 10.4 beta 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557018 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
