When I do some thing that uses disk, eg. open menu for first time (loading graphics) or launch program first time disk spins for about a second very loudly. I am worried about my disk lifetime.
I installed and configured everything I found in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Laptop . Before "hdparm -B 255 "I had those spins every 20 seconds or so, now it's just from time to time.
On Windows and Ubuntu disk doesn't spin so loudly.
I have compal fl90.

don't forget to add, noatime, nodiratime into fstab for your hd partitions

Thank you! Lack of noadirtime in fstab was an issue. I just followed wiki, there was only noatime suggestion.

please, add it to the wiki if you found it useful.
EDIT: as i read here http://lwn.net/Articles/244941/ it shouldn't be neccesary because noatime implies nodiratime (it's a superset).
