Hi Wouter, Did you make sure that hddtemp was in the cache before doing this? To be sure you could do someting like: hddtemp /dev/sda <wait until hard drive spins down> hdparm -C /dev/sda && hddtemp /dev/sda && hdparm -C /dev/sda Cheers, Bart -- 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
