Just in case, have you tried hdparm -B 254 /dev/hda instead of 255, ie just in case the reported load cycle count of 4073 is not a correct representation? I think the last figure in each line is left up to the drive manufacturer to define (eg one of my drive's "temperature celcius" readings from smartctl reports as 906887219).
Buried way deep in bug 59695, someone pointed out that 255 isn't an officially defined setting. 255 doesn't make any difference to load cycles frequency on my drive, but 254 sure does. -- Persistent laptop drive clicking in kernels since 2006 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
