(Get the code!)
Bart Samwel thanks for notifying us. Do you think acpi-support should be modified to use "hdparm -B 254" while on AC and "hdparm -B 128" while on battery (including booting from battery)? While on battery you generally want to save power and protect your disk from bumps by parking as soon as possible.
Reducing unnecessary disk activity will prevent some unnecessary unparking while on "hdparm -B 128". Here's some possible disk activity bugs :
* the commit interval for the ext3 filesystem should be higher than 5 seconds for laptop users
https:/
* ext3 partitions should be mounted with noatime or relatime for laptop users
https:/
* acpid : Log output far too verbose
https:/
* liferea might cause unnecessary disk activity
https:/
* thunderbird might cause unnecessary disk activity
https:/
* tracker : the index delay should be set to a higher value for laptop users

firefox might cause unnecessary disk activity when going to a new website
