I reported it upstream: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10734 The issue also persists in the latest mainstream kernel. A fix should be easy to backport. Let's see what happens :-) -- Intel Core 2 Duo - Resume from suspend, CPU Frequency Scaling is gone on CPU1 https://bugs.launchpad.

Just to (re?)state the obvious: A standard Linux kernel flushes to disk every 5 seconds. I don't know what anyone expects their disk to do to "save power" between those flushes, but it doesn't. When the drive manufacturer sets default settings it is under the assumption the OS is not going to forc

Milo: it just means your disks default settings do not trigger within the 5 seconds of the forced flush. This is purely coincidental and nothing to do with "broken" disks. It is also the reason so many people see so many different results, depending on your drive's settings you may never see it, o

Benjamin, that's a good point. No, it is not laptop-mode only, Firefox behaves this way all the time, it's just that on AC I don't have disk power savings enabled, so I didn't look at it from that side. -- Firefox keeps forcing disk to spin up when browsing because its sqlite storage calls fsync
