My count on my Thinkpad X40 is 5662176519809 (sic). Given that the machine is around 3 years old, if we assume it's been on all that time (which it hasn't) that indicates a head park about 60,000 times a second. I knew these new hard disks were fast and the power-saving was aggressive, but... Seriously, anyone know why smartctl -A /dev/sda might give such an amazingly large figure? I've just seen it increase by 16 million in 19 seconds, so something is rather wrong. Gerv

Laptops, power management, and Ubuntu Posted Nov 16, 2007 0:05 UTC (Fri) by emj (guest, #14307) [Link] I have a X40 which just begun it's fourth year of usage and has been in heavy use. It has a value of 4.6*10^9[1] which is about 10^9 less than you. Though smartctl says it has been powered on for 47 years.. [1] 4654956297329
