Bug Description
The commit interval for the ext3 filesystem should be higher than 5 seconds for laptop users (at least while on battery) to prevent unnecessary disk-activity when the head is parked or the drive is spun down. ext3 partitions should be mounted with commit=X where X is a number in seconds.

This should probably be done through laptop-mode taking Bart Samwell's comment in consideration. So laptop-mode should probably be enabled by default (with sane defaults) while on battery in the future. It can't be enabled by default right now because it is causing system hangs for some laptops see : https:/
