[Clonezilla-live] question concerning Load_Cycle_Count after clonezilla-backup

[Christian <abe...@fr...>]

Hi all,

I´ve created a system-backup using clonezilla.

After starting my system (Linux/Lubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, 64 bit) again I
checked the Load_Cycle_Count of my drive with

sudo smartctl -A -d sat /dev/sdc

. I noticed that the Load_Cycle_Count has risen by a value of 50 from
57705 to 57755.
That was a bit unusual as the Load_Cycle_Count normally rises by a value
of 3 (from one boot-up to the next).

Yet I have to say that this time clonezilla had to fix my third
partition before beginning the backup-process. I let fsck do its job per
default.
So could the observed phenomenon have something to do with that?

Or is there any way of preventing unusual "Load_Cycle_Count"-rises when
using clonezilla for backup purposes?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Greetings.
