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

[Alexey Borzenkov]

Also, more on laptop-mode. In config file comments I've seen that it is
disabled by default (and it seems devs tried to make it not so obvious
how to really enable it), because it causes odd hangs on some computers.
What sort of hangs are we dealing with? If this was about hangs when
watching a movie, then the right answer would be not setting
LM_READAHEAD to 3072 by default. It'd be a shame if laptop-mode was so
hard-codedly disabled because of readahead problem. :-/
