Canonical/Dell Should Issue Statement On Hard Drive Killer

brainstorm.ubuntu.com — Slashdot-ed ( http://is.gd/5BfK ) launchpad bug #59695 ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 ) "High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime", seems to have generated a lot of fear and confusion in the Linux community. Canonical & Dell need to issue an official statement to clear the air.

  • mgol, on 11/03/2008, -1/+1I agree... No statement means more confusion amongst users and it sometimes makes them aware of installing Linux... Higly needed
  • HonestAbe, on 11/03/2008, -2/+1"Supposedly" being the key word. It hasn't "actually" been fixed.
