A320 Cargo Smoke Detectors

Curious to know if many pilots have had false cargo smoke warnings on the A319/320, and what circumstances and phases of flight. Thx.

In flight in the 8 years on 320 never however on ground when loading is taking place and exaust fumes from the catering truck or other equipment enters the bay, many times.

We've had several false alarms in conjunction with being deiced, probably not a problem in Bahrain. I'm concerned that the alarm will lose validity on the ground....and could end up in a tragedy.

High humidity can also cause the cargo smoke warning to activate on ground...
