This being a SuSE mailing group then it would be safe to assume that everybody here must be running SuSE. May I then ask how /your/ system is behaving? Is your HD being accessed every 5 seconds, or in some other regular pattern?

Hi: In /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html_single/From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO.html I find the following: The daemons kflushd and kupdate handle this work: kupdate runs periodically (5 seconds?) to check whether there are any dirty buffers.
