Bug Description
While trying to figure out why my laptop drive never gets fully to sleep when running on battery power I discovered that the ubuntuone sync daemon is appending to /home/$
This continued writing to the log file by the daemon stating that it is in an IDLE state actually makes the machine busy as it periodically has to flush this data out which means spinning an idle disk drive up to flush out the dirty pages. This wastes power.
For IDLE messages, can we NOT write these messages out to the log
1. It is pointless debug
2. It makes the machine busy for no apparent benefit
3. It consumes power unnecessarily
