@Ihor : what kind of "freeze" are you commenting about? I have a NVidia Video Card and sincerely (and with all respect) I don't see a connection between the HDD having that kind of behavior and the video card (perhaps there is and I just don't know?).
To add more information to my case, it seems to be happening only in one specific drive (I have 3). Coincidentally that drive was 99% full! (like one month ago). That drive is mounted in /home/ (I use other drive for / ). If I remember correctly I formated the drive as ext3 with "-m 0". I wonder if there is some connection with the present issue... However, my drive is now 90% full and still is having that problem (described before). I hope it can point to some direction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569680 Title: Hard disk write/read freezes for 10 seconds several times in session -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
