So far the best we can do is to find out which files the writes happened to and then guess which process might be guilty. We can try it in this case and see whether we can see something. To do this, you should capture the blocktrace when the machine should be idle on a separate harddrive (or USB stick or to tmpfs in memory). For example for filesystem on /dev/sda1 do: mkdir /tmp/fs mount -t tmpfs none /tmp/fs blktrace -d /dev/sda1 -D /tmp/fs <wait some time and break blktrace> Now process the blktrace output by: blkparse -i sda1 -D /tmp/fs -f "%a %S+%n %C\n" | grep "^D" | cut -d ' ' -f 2,3

/tmp/blktrace-parsed

Download my mapping program (I suppose you have ext2/3/4 filesystem) from http://beta.suse.com/private/jack/defrag/ext3remapper.tar.gz Untar it and run make (you will need a development version of libext2fs which is packaged in openSUSE, otherwise it has no dependencies). Run: e2block2map -t -o /tmp/blktrace-mapped /tmp/blktrace-parsed /dev/sda1 It will crunch for some time (a few minutes) and then write in /tmp/blktrace-mapped which files were read / written. You can then attach the file here. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, I meant e2block2file. Sorry for the mistake.

OK, sadly quite a bit of the IO are short-lived files (probably in /tmp) that get deleted before e2block2file is run. Anyway, the files we can identify are mail logs. I suppose you are running postfix. Yes, I noticed that as well. There was a config problem that caused postfix to log very 30 seconds. I'll stopped postfix for now and try again.

Also you can try stopping cron because I remember that used to wakeup disk quite often as well. Ok.

Anyway, it's a bit strange that Load_Cycle_Count increased by 4 when we see just 1 write. Are there other partitions on the device?

Well, a bit quick & dirty and if you don't like, this is a full script (a template) for this kind of things: #!/bin/bash case $1 in hibernate) echo "Hey guy, we are going to suspend to disk!" ;; suspend) echo "Hey guy, we are going to suspend to RAM ;; thaw) echo "oh, suspend to disk is over, we are resuming..." ;; resume) echo "hey, the suspend to RAM seems to be over..." ;; *) echo "somebody is calling me totally wrong." ;; esac Not tested, I'm for the dirty way :) Ciao. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I do not know exactly how much the count increases per hour, but I can provide an estimate. Doing the math roughly I had 1183 cycles in 2 days of life of the machine. Considering the machine has been on for about 8-10 hours per day, it is about 60 cycles per hours. P.S. dmidecode attached here too for completeness :) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Reports against openSUSE 11.4 and prior will not get the attention needed to resolve them before openSUSE 12.2 is release and openSUSE 11.4 becomes unmaintained. Please re-test with openSUSE 12.1 or openSUSE RC2+ and re-open with an updated Product if you still encounter your issue. We apologize for this issue not getting the attention it deserves but we are focusing our resources in the area where they will have the most impact for our users. We're working hard to make openSUSE 12.2 the best openSUSE release yet! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
