Almost always. After the system and kde are up for a bit, the hd light is on permanently, whether I am doing anything at all or not. Clues would be useful
Users with mirrored drives will see the drive light on for a long time after an improper shutdown/power failure. The hardware controller of the software raid is rebuilding the drive integrity. This can take hours as it is done as a low priority task.
