Hi,

perhaps there is a missunderstanding. My hard drive is clicking about 10 times
per second in a high-frequency tone. It could be a spindown, but then I think
there is a problem?! Or is it the spindown? As I understand spin down means a
standby mode, so that the hard drive shutdown and do not produce any noise,
isn't it?

Michael.

Hi,

I don't know how I can explain it right. But my notebook HD is "clicking" when
it is in battery mode. When the HD is in use its away but when it can suspend it
begins to "click". I've tried some options in the laptop-mode.conf, but can't
solve the problem so far. Did someone else have the same problem? Perhaps
someone can help me while solving this issue. In AC mode I do not have the
problem. So I think it could be a laptop-mode problem?

Cheers,
Michael
