Hi all!
I subscribed to this list to ask about this issue. I've not found almost any coverage on this topic, or then I've searched for wrong keywords on Google and on various mailing lists.
My issues is as follows: I've recently upgraded to openSUSE 10.2 from SuSE Linux 9.3 on my desktop PC. This is no server or anything, and I'm the only user.
I've noticed that at least on my upgraded installation the system seems to be almost constantly accessing through file I/O's the "/" mounted disk and also the "/home" partition. I realised this as I studied the output given by "iostat." If I leave it to monitor the system while running X and KDE, it shows constant "blocks written" action on hda, which contains both the root partition "/" and home partitions. <snip> My initial question and impression is Beagled. That is one of the first things I get rid of in 10.2+ as it occupies way too much CPU and disk resource doing its indexing. Is it running on your system? If so, does it help if you disable/remove Beagle?
No, nothing relating to Beagle is running according to Ksysguard. Also I'm quite sure I uninstalled it rather soon after I upgraded to openSUSE 10.2
I checked again, and
Here's an updated listing versus my oldder post, as it is actually ps -e that shows all running processes. Looks like my typical KDE session save ksysguard and kpowersave that were now running for testing purposes.
