I noticed in the graph of disk activity in GKrellM that there was some constant but intermittent activity on /dev/sda. Like this:
__|__|__|__|__|__|__|__|__|__|__|__|__|__|
It suddenly occurred to me that with GKrellM one can display a graph per partition! So I activated graphs for each one in /dev/sda and found the culprit: /dev/sda7.
What do I have there? Well, nothing:
Telcontar:~ # mount | grep sda7 /dev/sda7 on /other/test_a1 type reiserfs (rw,relatime,lazytime, user_xattr,acl) Telcontar:~ #
Something like
$ lsof /other/test_a1
when it is occurring? Or with the -/+r option to repeatedly probe for open files?
Just a stab at it.
If there was something opened the "umount" would have failed. And as I see the same activity in all the reiserfs mounts, except the one that is in actual use, it has to be something "internal". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
