[ltp] Noisy harddisk shutdown

[pub@wigginghaus.de]

Hi Jan,
I experience the same problem with my R50. However my harddrive makes this 
noise (Especially "Clack"!) not only when shutting down but also every now 
and then during normal operation. I agree that it does not sound healthy so I 
am backing up even more frequently. Also I can report that it happens under 
Windows as well.
