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

[CTenorman]

I likewise must concur. I strongly support the open source movement, and
like to help people switch to open source solutions on their computer.
As other distributions continue to fix this problem, and Ubuntu doesn't,
I'll have to tell them to avoid Ubuntu like the plague and install the
distributions with the fixes pre-installed.

I really don't want to have to do this. However, I'm simply going to
have to do so because if there's one distribution that won't destroy
someone's hard drive, and another that will, it would be irresponsible
of me to give them something that would trash their computer and data.

This is quite possibly the most important bug in Ubuntu right now. If a
fix is not forthcoming quickly, I'll simply have to stop installing
Ubuntu on other computers, and cease using it myself so that I can be
familiar with the distribution that I help others install.

Please fix this bug before I'm forced to leave this otherwise excellent
community.

Thank you.
