You dont have storage-fixup installed.
It very well might be that I do not have it installed, since I've never heard of it. I'll give it a try. Is it in any official repos or I would need to enable something else. If I need a third party repo, what would it be?
It is in the official repos.
Would I need to run any scripts after installation, or the install will do all that is necessary?
No, it executes on boot.
But then why this is not installed automatically if needed?
Not posse to determine automatically currently, this may not even know about your hardisk, last update was done 3 years ago.
Does this only affect certain harsware, or is it a problem for all HDD?
It only affects junk hardware. And calling it a "hdd killer" is extreme; it shortens the lifespan of some hardware, it doesn't "kill" it.
Well, you really must love your favorite distro to make such funny statements in its defence.
Yes, I only have a modest WD SATA hdd nothing really fancy. :-))) But calling it a junk hardware is a little exageration, isn't it?
I just wonder what do you use in your heavens, Master? :-)
What's to "it shortens the lifespan of some hardware, it doesn't "kill" it". Well IMHO it is just a nice euphemism for killing hardware ahead of time.
Considering that my hdd cycled 22 times in 15 minutes (over 1 time per minute!) and after fix applied did not cycle even one time for about 2 hours for now, it was destined to die much way ahead of time without that fix.
Or if you prefer your euphemism, it was destined to get its lifespan shortened very very very much.
This is what I would call "extreme".
No offence, I hope. If it is possible for this to be able to install by default for appropriate hardware it should. I have to agree on calling any working hardware junk is extreme. I have a lovely old p4 tower that runs quite happily despte being nearly a decade old. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.
