Why would Linux be waking up every 5 to 10 seconds to write to the

when I am sitting at my desktop or sitting at the login screen? (i.e. No
programs running. Only 40 total wakeups seen in powertop)
Try this:
yum install blktrace
mount a /sys/kernel/debug -t debugfs
btrace /dev/sda
umount /sys/kernel/debug
btrace will dump all disk activity, PID number is in column number 5.
Best regards.
