As requested by Tejun here https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=545024#c63 , I report a problem encountered on a DELL Latitude E6410 with a Seagate hard drive (see attachments for details). The Load_Cycle_Count increased significantly in the first two days of life of the machine reaching the value of 1183, which, according to my estimates corresponds to about 60 cycles per hour. The problems was fixed by setting a higher value of the power management parameter: hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda You find the output of: - hdparm -I - smartctl -a - dmidecode in the attachments. Best regards, Alberto
