Hi
I setted the option in /etc/default/tlp:
DISK_SPINDOWN_TIMEOUT_ON_BAT="80 80"
And getting this clicking sound in intervals: I changed back to:
# Hard disk spin down timeout:
# 0: spin down disabled
# 1..240: timeouts from 5s to 20min (in units of 5s)
# 241..251: timeouts from 30min to 5.5 hours (in units of 30min)
# See 'man hdparm' for details.
# Separate values for multiple disks with spaces. Use the special value 'keep'
# to keep the hardware default for the particular disk.
DISK_SPINDOWN_TIMEOUT_ON_AC="0 0"
DISK_SPINDOWN_TIMEOUT_ON_BAT="0 0"
But the clicking sound continues. Is there some othe way to check?
Thanks in advance.

Clicking = heart palpitation. If the disk holds critical data, backup immediately. Consider ordering a replacement. If the data are not critical do with it what you will...

I hope it makes it along for a while... Really hurting. May God be with me.

I have tried:
DISK_APM_LEVEL_ON_BAT="192 192"
perhaps may help. It seems that clicking has lessened for now, a bit.

Should I change this value to 0?
"DISK_IDLE_SECS_ON_BAT=2"
The tlp guide doenst recommend it though.

Yesno, depends on the "click" - segate has a "cling" to it when the head enters rest position. Sounds scary in the beginning but is absolutely normal.
click-click-click--click-click--clicketyclick is however no good sign ;-)
@makh, consult "smartctl -a /dev/sda" on the health status of the device

Thanks. The test seems ok:

run a self test (smartctl -t long)
and if possible enable auto offline data collection,

Hi. I do have a question here for [bold]smartctl -t long[/bold]:

twice. twice you aborted it.
Check the output of "smartctl -a" again, but the disk looks fine. As mentioned, it depends on the "click" sound, notably server disks aren't exactly silent.
You can check hdparm on whether your disk supports accoustic management ("man hdparm" first, do NOT use *any* flag without reading it up first, ever!)

Strange, I only ran test three times, as I recall, but probably one time it was a reboot so aborted ... but I didnt abort the other two tests:
# history |grep smartctl
468 smartctl -t long /dev/sda
469 smartctl -H /dev/sda
470 smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda
471 smartctl -a /dev/sda

"smartctl -a /dev/sda" should say more than that - the individual values might get you some information. That string does not (necessarily) mean there're absolutely no problems.
