[Bug 59695] Re: High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime

[Matt LaPaglia]

Just an observation:

I've run through the diagnostics to see if this bug is affecting me,
currently I am at 20.790403139 loads per hour (233102 loads / 11212
hours powered on)

While my hard drive is idling, and the hard drive parks, it spins back
up _immediately_ , _every_ time. The estimated load count for my drive
(ST9100824AS) is 600,000, so I'm only a little a head of schedule (I
have been running Windows XP/Vista before Ubuntu on this drive.)

Wouldn't one presume that a hard drive park = it isn't being used = it
would stay parked longer?
