Hi,

a minimalist Wily server install, around 4.5 GiB small does cause
endless spin downs and spin ups, so that green drives get damaged. I
maintain an around 37.5 GiB large Arch Linux install, quasi using the
same software used by the Wily install and in addition a little bit more
software, which isn't used by the Wily install. For Arch Linux I don't
experience this issue. I expect the same for an Ubuntu install.

I'm already hunting the culprit, see
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-August/006570.html and
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-August/006571.html,
but run out of ideas.

The claim the install is 2 GiB small is a typo, the backup archive is of
that size.

However, assumed Ubuntu won't contribute to
http://andrewmcconnell.photoshelter.com/gallery/G0000oLuiBLHIsmM this
"feature" should be removed from the defaults.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release:	15.10

Regards,
Ralf
