With the patch applied, I don't see *any* new activity in those S.M.A.R.T. attributes over multiple hibernates (Linux "suspend-to-disk").
Scratch that -- operator failure. ;) The patch makes no difference over hibernates in the SMART logs. It's still logging extra Power-Off_Retract_Count pegs, which it DID NOT USED TO DO not so long ago. Now I'll poke at the shutdown again. Meanwhile, Stephen: Could you try without this line in the patched file: case ATA_16: + dev->needs_sync_cache = 1; Ie. comment out that last "dev->needs_sync_cache" line.
