From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: Maybe this is a hardware problem, I don't know. But last time my hard drive had bad performance, it was Magicdev. Tvelve days ago, my hard drive started to make a clicking noise, and speeded up and down (sounds like a cd-rom), and when this happens, the computer hangs for a few seconds. The problem disappeared for some days, but is back now. I have tested the hard drive, and it passed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start reading data from hard drive. 2. 3. Additional info: My computer is a dell inspiron 8200.
The 'dev' package contains the device nodes in /dev, and doesn't actually access any hardware devices directly. Bouncing to 'kernel', where there might be some clue.
are there any errors/warnings in dmesg output after its done this speeding up / slowing down ? It does smell like a hardware fault to me.
