@sitsofe the hdd is not accessed every few secs or so but in a precise interval accompanied with a clearly audible click. You can see this in the graphic I attached further up in the thread. I do not have this problem when I use other Linux Distros. I know this behavior only from Ubuntu and it is

I support Jeff Fortin's suspicion that pdflush might be the culprit. In the first run there were not so many audible hdd clicks. In the second run I had almost constant hdd 5secs clicks. The number of pdflush writes in the second run were 61. That fits perfectly the number of accesses for a 5 minut

I fully agree with Simon Oosthoek. There should also be a fix for KDE 3.5.5 and Dapper Drake LTS (LongTermSupport!!!). I recently switched away from Kubuntu to openSUSE and this was one of my main reasons for it. This bug was never given a high priority for I don't know what reason. And it took ag

This bug is bugging me since Dapper and KDE 3.5.3. Now on Kubuntu 6.10 with KDE 3.5.5 the default standby setting reverts to 5 hours with every reboot (was to 30mins in Dapper). Please fix this, it is really annoying and literally burns loads of energy. This bug is eating environmental resources.

Hi everybody. I have the same annoying problem on my Desktop since a while. This is on Ubuntu Dapper 6.06. But I have to say that the write access to the disk is every 5 secs and not 4 secs on my computer. They are blocks of about 30-70 kb written to the disk as GkrellM tells me. There are als
