Hello,
A similar problem was discussed here http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2003-Feb/2225.html and I can paste the description verbatim, but the solutions proposed did not work for me: "I seem to remember several here complaining about their hard drive led blinking about every 5 seconds and seeing a solution to it as well. I don't remember when those mails come out, so don't know which month to look for them in the Archives."
I have Suse 9.2 on a Dell SmartPC 250N laptop. It appears that something is written to/read from the hard drive every few seconds (2-5). When I boot in failsafe mode, i.e. without the X and KDE, no such disk activity is observed.
Does anyone know how to stop this strange disk activity?
Is the file alteration monitor running? Dylan
Thanks,
Sergei
