Hello,
I have OpenSuSE 11.1 installed and very often, after the machine is idle for a few hours, some process starts using the disk very heavily. When I get back to the computer it is almost unusable, everything is freezing and lagging while the disk continues working heavily. After a few minutes it gets better, but something still continues using the disk. I don't have beagle installed. How do I find out which process is accessing the disk when this happens?
Thanks,

Marcello, In general, here's a command that tells you who uses a certain file: fuser <filename> Run it as root. See manpage for more details. Upon seeing your kind of situation I would suspect it's beagle that's to blame. beagle is an indexing process which is very "expensive". I don't have much use for it so I just remove it from all the machines I am running OpenSuSe on. Hope this helps.
