Comment 76 for bug 952556

I can confirm that Start_Stop_Count doesn't increment any more, which is nice, but Load_Cycle_Count still increments by about 1-10 per minute.

I set apm_battery = 254 in /etc/hdparm.conf now, which stops Load_Cycle_Count from incrementing, so that is fine.

But isn't this the wrong solution? I guess it is a good idea to park the heads after some inactivity, wouldn't it be better to prevent Linux from writing to disk so frequently, causing the heads to be quickly unparked?
