I don't know if that's high or low. To me it's just a number. Following along from Matt Garman's reply I went back and looked at when I built this machine for my dad. (How many here have 85 year old fathers who have run Linux for 7 years instead of windows? Give him a cheer!) ;-) I agree with Matt about trying to save power. This machine is 40 days old today, at least counting since he first booted it at home. It's been up and running since then. 40 Days is 3,456,000 seconds. 3,456,000 / 27557 is 125 seconds/count increase on average. So about 2 minutes. I wonder if I'm seeing something like Matt is seeing with the drive continually being woken up. I know most of the time it just sits idle from a user's perspective, but I've done nothing to stop daemons or anything like that. It runs screen savers, gets used every day for an hour or two, but is always powered up so that I can administer it from 350 miles away. Interesting. I'll watch it every so often and see if it's increasing in a linear fashion, as I might guess Matt's data would suggest, or doing something different. Since I sent data a while ago it's increased to 27594. (+37) That was roughly an hour ago and my dad hasn't been logged on during this time. - Mark -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
