SuSE 7.2 does not install resierfs as the default file system- it uses ext2 and you have to deliberately select reiserfs during installation if you want to use reiser. However, when I install SuSE v8 with ext2 the "hits" occur every 35 seconds.
I've got a combination of ext2 and reiser partitions,
So, what you are saying is that using the latest Win4Lin (version 4) with SuSE 7.2 you do not get any "hits" at all - not at 35 seconds, for example? Is your HD LED connected and working properly?
Unfortunately it seems that lately I'm always doing something that accesses the disk so I haven't had an opportunity to check further, I'd been trusting gKrellm's readout which wasn't showing anything (probably to short of access) but upon watching my disk activity led it seems entirely possible that somethings going on.
Sorry for asking but your response will save me effort and time in installing SuSE7.2 with the Win4Lin (which was my next stage of proving to NeTraverse that someting is amiss with Win4Lin, and helping to pinpoint where this problem lies). Looking forward to your reply.
The other posts describing reisers default activities seem to make sense to me. -- dh
