Re: Load_Cycle_Count to stop growing.



Thank You for Your time and answer, Camaleón:

Well. - No comparisons!

Though w/ temperature it seems things got normal again - so no question
here any more for now at least.

But w/ the HDD head parking it is still an issue, currently it is:

193 Load_Cycle_Count        0x0032   080   080   000    Old_age
Always       -       204131

and it grows about 1 time per 30 minutes.

I was also reading about ubuntu's issue on this how it was spinning
down HDDs exceedingly often thus reducing its lives...

Thank You again for this.
