Hello!
I know now about problem noflushd and ext3.
Does it the same problem for noflushd and ext4? I can't find any
information about it.

Why there is no warning in description of the program in package manager?

Why there is no warning when daemon started and found ext3?

Who will bought new hard drive for me?

By the way: limit for healthy disk is 600000 Load_Cycle_Count.

noflushd was auto installed by unknown reason (or maybe was preinstalled in
Ubuntu), and I did not know about it.
I just a lucky guy who googling a full day, and now I disabled all disk
parameters and programs which can increase Load_Cycle_Count. Last was
noflushd, after COMPLETE REMOVING of which tick suicide disk bomb was
stopped.

EVEN EVERY 4 MINUTES WRITING TO HARD DRIVE WITH SYNC COMMAND AFTER (ALL BY
CRONTAB) CAN NOT STOP TICK BOMB WHICH WAS ACTIVATED BY EXISTENS OF NOFLUSFD
IN LINUX SYSTEM.

These does not help too of course:
1) $ sudo idle3ctl -s 148 /dev/sda
Idle3 timer set to 148 (0x94)
Please power cycle your drive off and on for the new setting to be taken
into account. A reboot will not be enough! -> I powered off and even reset
enegry with pushing power button when energy cable of computer is
disconnected.
$ sudo idle3ctl -g103 /dev/sda
Idle3 timer set to 600.0s (0x94)
$ sudo idle3ctl -g105 /dev/sda
Idle3 timer set to 600.0s (0x94)
I then set writed to disk to file with sync every 240 seconds.
2) $ sudo idle3ctl -d /dev/sda
Idle3 timer disabled

Somebody writes that simple disabling of Idle3 timer does not works.

laptop-mode-tools does not have any problem with etx3, and it is better.
but I don't need such programs. I just want to get my healthy drive back.

I have not accepted any license in which was written that noflushd can
damage my hard disk. I have not accepted no license about noflushd at all,
but it was installed in my system and worked like a virus (actually it is
real virus). And now I want new 1TB hard drive from you, guys. I prefer
Hitachi hard drives now. I am poor guy from Russia, from Saint-Petersburg.
