: Wich version of openSUSE are you using?, the drive is operational but has continuous access?, in that case there's probably some indexing software running... Without more info, it's hard to tell what's your issue.
Use iostat & pidstat if there's just "too much i/o" access.

I don't appear to have pidstat

The first execution is useless as it brings the average since the machine was started, try with "iostat -xnmN 5" to check the I/O. pidstat is part of sysstat also, at least in sysstat-8.0. It should give you I/O per process (pidstat -d 5), you need at least kernel 2.6.20 to make it work.
