Maybe SUSE's daily cronjobs? Doing "updatedb" takes a while on a system with larger disk-space... You could do e.g. 'ls -ltra /var/spool/cron/lastrun/' as root, to see if any of the cronjobs have just run. I mean after this "strange activity" have been finished once. Pelibali PS. I have SUSE 9.1, so it could be, that while using a newer version (~9.3) you have the above folder by default _somewhere else_.
