Hi, I having a little difficulty understanding the R+W graph display from IOTOP, and what the difference between a graph displayed by dots and graphs displayed by a solid block. Having said that though, the thrashing of my hard disk for several minutes after the KDE desktop displays when logging in from SDDM, seems to be being caused by Packagekitd. How do I determine what it is doing and why? When the storage light goes out indicating cessation of activity, Packagekitd disappears from the top of the iotop display when the sort order is set to descending on the R+W graph column.
If you don't use PackageKit (i.e. you use dnf from the command line instead), you could uninstall it.
I thought about doing that as I don't use it.
