[Bug 59695] Re: High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime

[Stephen Hildrey]

I'm inclined to agree, though it's worth noting that (AFAIK,
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+question/23292)
the plan for Hardy is to move to pm-utils, so rather than
/etc/acpi/{battery,start,resume,ac}.d, the script would need to go in
/usr/lib/pm-utils/{power,sleep}.d.

I'm using this at the moment to control a Seagate Momentus disk in my
Thinkpad X61s, and it works just great. Unfortunately the
Load_Cycle_Count got to 240,000 before this issue came to light :'-(
