I finally have a quiet enough case and fans that I hear all disk activity and about every 5-10 *seconds* I hear disk activity.
The knowns:
- opensuse 11.1 standard install - no antivirus software - no cron entries that I have put in - Kontact running - no timed entries - Thunderbird - every *minute *checking for emails - Firefox - no website up with any repetitive items
Thanks, Duaine
iotop is your friend. It is like top but shows process i/o. You'll quickly see which process is accessing the disk. If it is not installed, zypper in iotop (as root) should find it. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
