What did lm-profiler claim was touching the hard disk? That's probably the easiest way to work out what's causing the disk to unpark in each case, as it seems that various programs can cause the effect of bug 59695. There should probably be some kind of review of installed services to see what does this sort of thing. Ideally when my laptop is idle, nothing should touch the disk.
Interestingly it's not just Linux. There is a program on my Windows laptop that does the same thing (logs some security rubbish every 20-30 seconds or so), and according to smartmontools its Load_Unload_Cycle is 683863, so there go the theories about Windows having some kind of workaround built in. My employer requires the app to be installed, but then they will pay for the new HD when it fails. -- Log output far too verbose https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
