@maor and Mathieu HAVEL If you are interested in getting Dell to replace affected hard drives, you may wish to promote this idea on Ideastorm: http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/75651/Replace_worn_hard_drives_of_Ubuntu_PCs
It requests that Dell replace not only hard drives that die from this bug, but also hard drives that are greatly affected before a fix is implemented. In my case, my hard drive accumulated more than 450,000 load cycles before I applied the fix, so I think it and other drives like it deserves to be replaced. -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
