My HD never stops since installing severn. This doesn't happen in windoze or SuSE, didn't happen in shrike. I don't recognize anything in top that might cause this. All that useless activity interferes with A/V play. The noise is annoying too. How to I find out what's doing this and stop it?
It's probably prelink getting ran via a cronjob.
Out of curiosity, is there any way to put the system in "laptop mode" (I don't just mean the kernel changes) and have this stuff turned off automatically? The hard-drive activity isn't being nice to my battery life.
