@ Chris Jones: ThinkPad X40 drives' raw value is a packed 48 bit number:
3037783573354 = 0x02C34A02C36A 0x02C34A = 181066 0x02C36A = 181098 One of these is your current load cycle count. The other is the load cycle count at some recent event (most recent power cycle or something, not sure exactly). -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
