[ubuntu-studio-devel] How to file a bug against an unknown package? - Was: Green hard disk drives

[Ralf Mardorf]

Any ideas how to file a bug against unknown buggy software, or perhaps
a bad unknown Ubuntu specific configuration?

A bug report is useless, since I don't know what package does cause the
issue.

:D

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  It seems that your bug report is not filed about a
specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu
in general.  It is important that bug reports be filed about source
packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs
about it.  You can find some hints about determining what package your
bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage.
You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1484497/+editstatus and add the
package name in the text box next to the word Package.

Title:
  [Wily] wakes up green drives without a valid reason

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  a minimalist Wily server install, around 4.5 GiB small does cause
  endless spin downs and spin ups, so that green drives get damaged. I
  maintain an around 37.5 GiB large Arch Linux install, quasi using the
  same software used by the Wily install and in addition a little bit
  more software, which isn't used by the Wily install. For Arch Linux I
  don't experience this issue. I expect the same for an Ubuntu install.

  I'm already hunting the culprit, see
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-August/006570.html
  and
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-August/006571.html,
  but run out of ideas.

  The claim the install is 2 GiB small is a typo, the backup archive is
  of that size.

  However, assumed Ubuntu won't contribute to
  http://andrewmcconnell.photoshelter.com/gallery/G0000oLuiBLHIsmM this
  "feature" should be removed from the defaults.

  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
  Release:	15.10

  Regards,
  Ralf
