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

[okparanoid]

hi !

That i don't not understand it's why you don't try to detect this
problem automatically and let inform the user via notification that the
firmware of the disk is defect and propose him to make a "dirty"
workaround.

it is just few lines of code to add to the notification system (checking that the number of cycles does not increase too high).
 
It is a major issue and even it is not directly a linux kernel or ubuntu due i think that it is to the responsability of the distrib to take care of such things when a large amount of users are touched with this.
 
Cheers !
