GVFS does wake up sleeping drives without reason, this does cause a high
amount of spin ups and spin downs. Most drives die regarding to the spin
ups, also without GVFS. Really, if a drive dies it most of the times is
regarding to the amount of spin ups, broken controllers etc. happen much
less often. I guess everybody knows the click-clikc noise of some broken
drives. This is what happens after a while, caused by the spin ups. It
should take many years before a drive dies this way, but using GVFS it
will die very soon, regarding to the insane wake ups.
