There is a bit of buzz at the moment about ubuntu affecting laptop hard drives reliability: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 If I run the following on my F7 laptop while it's plugged in: while true; do smartctl -A /dev/sda | grep -F Load_Cycle_Count | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 2,10 sleep 10 done I get: Load_Cycle_Count 351489 Load_Cycle_Count 351491 Load_Cycle_Count 351493 Load_Cycle_Count 351495 Load_Cycle_Count 351498 Which is about once every 4 seconds or so. As mentioned in the bug report I can turn this off by doing `hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda` Should anything be changed for the F8 release? cheers, Pádraig. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
