I don't understand your point here about battery. Are you saying you put Fedora
on a netbook (over supplied Linux) that you get much shorter battery life?
I use to fiddle with fstab to stop a lot of background disk activity (right now
I forget the option, and can't find my notes on it).
Don't know about battery, I have no issues on my netbook, get eight hours.I
used
to do fiddling with write block size and such, helped so little with modern
drives I ignore it.Might play with spin down time if I had a load which caused
issues.
