Is there some program that I can use to monitor what programs are seeking the hard drive? Some program, system call, or something is causing a quick seek to my root partitions hard drive every second or two. I don't know what it is and I would like to find out. My root partition(everything except /home) is a 3.2G partition(/dev/hda5) on a new WD 6.4G udma drive. I have used "hdparm -d1 -c3 -S 241" on the drive(/dev/hda) but disabling those options doesn't stop it. I don't recall this happening on the old drive that the root partition used to be on, a WD 1.2G eide drive(now /home on /dev/hdb2).
Any pointers would be great, Thanks, Brian -- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
