https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=386555 Summary: High number of hard drive load cycles on notebooks Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alberto.passalacqua@tin.it QAContact: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Following what I read about some users experiences with the latest release of Fedora and Ubuntu, having "clicks" and high load cycles counts on certain laptops (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 for example), I asked for some testing in Beta 2. One hundred load cycles per hour were reported on a Lenovo R61 using openSUSE 11 beta 2, as you can read here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2008-05/msg00066.html I think further investigation is required, being this issue quite serious, considering its impact on the disk life.
