[Bug 346194] New: prevent hard and dvd drive from unnecessary spinups
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=346194 Summary: prevent hard and dvd drive from unnecessary spinups Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Community of Practice On a system with two hard disks the second disk /dev/sdb spins up from time to time although no file or swap partition is mounted fromout of that drive. This is ala long not good for the physics of that drive and can be very annoying because /dev/sdb is quite noisy; hdparm -Y /dev/sdb helps up to the next spinup (openSuse 10.3; smartctl already mentions a worsened spinup time; maybe because of continuing multiple unnecessary spinups). Similarely on a notebook under Suse10.1 a cdrom is spinned up multiple times during the boot process, if any is inserted, although there is no reason to access the cd during boot time (noisy, slows the boot process down). There should not be any program accessing a drive without mounted partitions. Is there any? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
