Hi all!
I recognize disk activity pretty often when the system is idle.
i.e. in KDE, just 1 terminal is opened and even if I do nothing
with it, there is no minute without disk activity ...
Same for GNOME or *even at the graphical login* !!
My system (the test-box):
433MHz Celeron Mendocino
192MB RAM
Memory 184MB use; Swap 9MB used
Every minute or so there is disk activity for a few seconds.
In the "System Monitor" in KDE I see increased CPU usage for
"ksysguard" when the disk is on.
Am I just spoiled to use a 1GB RAM machine for production or is
this something unusual ?
Thanks for any hints!
Cheers,
Hannes.
