| 1 | Hi, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | there are some reports that Ubuntu GNU/Linux 7.10 "kills harddrive": |

| 6 | I can confirm this behaviour for FreeBSD 6.2 STABLE 200710 i386 and |
| 7 | Gentoo Linux 2007.0 i386. My Load_Cycle_Count is increasing about 1 |
| 8 | cycle per minute. |

| 10 | There's the possibility to disable APM for one's harddisk to stop that |
| 11 | behaviour. You can do: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | hdparm -B 255 /dev/yourharddisk |
| 14 | |
| 15 | That stops the Load_Cycle_Count's growth but reduces one's battery |
| 16 | runtime. Is there a better way to weaken the possibility of killing |
| 17 | one's harddrives? |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Best greetings |
