I noticed that kind of thing on my laptop, years ago. Soon there were reports in the online media about laptop drives aging prematurely from that behaviour. It strikes me that if they want to park the heads all the time, as some sort of drive saving feature, it ought to be done less violently, so it's not so wearing. The continual clunking is annoying on the ears, too. For that matter, spinning down the disc isn't too nice either. It makes for a tedious wait when you want to do something, but the drive has gone to sleep. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
