Hi :) I'm new to this list. Some days ago I started testing KDE, being a long time Linux user, running Xfce for the last years.
KDE does touch without any reason my "green" HDD, so 193 Load_Cycle_Count does increase for nothing. When I experienced the same issue with other DEs I removed gvfs, in case it was an optional dependencies or replaced gvfs with an empty dummy package when it was a hard dependency, to get rid of this HDD killer. It's neither possible to disable the "green" option, nor do I want to disable it, assumed it should be possible. The order to spin down external drives after a while is one of the EU Regulation that are ok. Touching the drive for nothing simply is a bug. As a command line user, there's no need for me to see Trash and removable devices on the Desktop or by Dolphin. My all day distro is Arch Linux, but I'm testing KDE with Kubuntu Saucy. What do I need to remove, to get rid of the HDD killer for the KDE install? I'll ask at Kubuntu mailing list too, but since the traffic on this and the Kubuntu list is very low, I "cross-post" this request.
