Subject: who is r/w-ing my hdd? Newsgroups: RWTHNEWS:linux.debian.user Hello,
I am searching the source of some every 2/3 seconds happening harddisk read/write operation. It is really annoying - even if there is (from my side) no system activity at all. I also fear the health of my hardware if this cant be settled (may be there is no reason to do so - but i cant judge). Up to the current point of investigation i blame it to the X server (4.3 i guess, the default one...) I was using fvwm (no gnome) before and there was the same thing going on. Since x server is the only thing the both setups have in common this should be it. also when i do "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" hdd accesses stop, too. I have never witnessed such behaviour on any system i was using. So i guess there must be something wrong in my setup (i am keeping it very much to default). I also tried to upgrade to x11.org from backports-sarge at www.backports.org with no luck. my system is up to date using the mirror sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (whatever you call up to date with debian ;-)) Thanks for your help in advance.
