Bug ID: 445039 Summary: ksystemstats constantly (3-4 times a second) accessing disk but doing nothing. Product: plasma-systemmonitor Version: 5.22.5 Platform: Kubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: ksysguard-b...@kde.org Reporter: ma...@damage.nl CC: ahiems...@heimr.nl, plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY ksystemstats continuously accessing my drive at ~1,7% but zero % writes or reads. Disk light flickers 3-4 times a second non stop. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Just a clean install Kubuntu 21.10 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT When Idle, disk light flickers 3-4 times every second, iostat -0 says only ksystemstats is doing this, and mostly actually the only thing actively accessing the disk. EXPECTED RESULT (observed after removing ksystemstats) Disk light flickers like once every 5-15 seconds when idle SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 (came default with it) KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0 (came default with it) Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Can not kill the process ksystemstats, so had to uninstall it. Then the problem is solved. After reinstalling it, the problem came back. For now i removed it, but looks like a crucial part for Kubuntu.
