Running Ubuntu 6.10 on brand new HP compaq nw9440 with a Seagate ST910021AS
since February 27th: Load Cycle Count 134608 in 2 and half month ! :-(
I also noticed the hard drive clicking noise quite frequently and using Google
I stumbled over your bug report here. I'm using XFS as a filesystem, if
this mattern anyhow in this issue.
Update: after 10 minutes with ``hdparm -B 180 /dev/sda`` the load cycle
count has increased to 134616. I will now try the command
``smartctl -o on /dev/sda`` as suggested on the thinkwiki page mentioned
in the thread here.
