I just want to confirm comment #94 of Vladimir Kononov (voldemark). After fsck on my disk drives (/ and /home) on a quite long time running (+1year) desktop install of debian mint on an old laptop the issue of high harddisk load seems to be minimized and system runs much more smoothly now.
So, please do fsck on your disks and update whether or not it solves the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607560 Title: jbd2 writing block every 5 - 10 seconds, preventing disk spin-down and making noise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/607560/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
