I had been using a new laptop for few days: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# smartctl -a /dev/sda -d ata ... === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 16266 A very high number for such a short time! Load cycles were raising few cycles per minute which was very very aggressive. Luckily ceg's PowerManagement instructions provided a proper workaround and Load_Cycle_Count stopped increasing. -- 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 subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
