Confirming again on a 3rd, different laptop (Acer Aspire 3104 WLMi)

Leaving the system alone on battery (no special software started, machine fresh booted with an user session open), in about 10 minutes I get :

- (4) Start_Stop_Count: = +9
- (193) Load_Cycle_Count: = +9

So it seems that every laptop running Precise, on battery, Starts/Stops its HD at least about once a minute (if left alone), and much more often if workling on it.

WE'RE GONNA BREAK A LOT OF HDs AND UBUNTU'll GET FAMOUS FOR THAT IF IT AIN'T FIXED before Precise final is released...
