I am fairly new to Linux and I am noticing my hard disk is constantly churning over with clicking sounds. I've tried various sites to fix this problem, but have been unsuccessful.
I've tried: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reduce-hard-drive-s-acoustic-noise-level and: http://www.computercorrect.com/2011/operating-systems/linux/ubuntu/fix-for-constant-hard-drive-clicking-in-ubuntu/
This site that it's a 'parking problem.' "
You hard drive has heads that read the surface of the platters, and excessive head parking in Ubuntu Linux and its variants is not uncommon – especially on laptops running on battery power.
"
Is there an easy way to fix this problem? Can someone show me step by step? Is there a program that I can download?
In Windows I never had problems like this. I want to stay with Linux generally and more specifically Ubuntu.
Thanks for your help.
