The rate certainly seems slower than before with latest 3.16 kernel (Linux cloudsong 3.16.0-031600-generic #201408031935 SMP Sun Aug 3 23:36:11 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).
Is this looking more like a normal cycle pattern, or still more load cycles than there should be? root@cloudsong:~# while true; do date; smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep Load_Cycle; sleep 60; done Mon Aug 4 05:56:28 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109254 Mon Aug 4 05:57:28 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109259 Mon Aug 4 05:58:29 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109261 Mon Aug 4 05:59:30 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109261 Mon Aug 4 06:00:30 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109262 Mon Aug 4 06:01:31 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109262 Mon Aug 4 06:02:32 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109264 Mon Aug 4 06:03:32 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109264 Mon Aug 4 06:05:32 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109264 Mon Aug 4 06:06:33 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109265 Mon Aug 4 06:07:33 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109266 Mon Aug 4 06:08:34 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109267 ^[[6;5~Mon Aug 4 06:09:35 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109267 Mon Aug 4 06:10:36 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109267 Mon Aug 4 06:11:36 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109268 Mon Aug 4 06:12:37 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109268 Mon Aug 4 06:13:38 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109268 Mon Aug 4 06:14:38 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109268 Mon Aug 4 06:15:39 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109269 Mon Aug 4 06:16:40 CEST 2014 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 109270 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350620 Title: [Lenovo Thinkpad X230] Rapidly increasing Load_Cycle_Count on battery To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1350620/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
