Is it doing it all the time, or just now? There could be a CRON job running makewhatis on the drive, or something similar. I had to turn off power saving features on my laptop hard drive, because it was doing something similar (which WOULD wear the drive out a lot quicker than normal), but I don't think the period was as short as that. In the past, going back as far as Fedora Core 4, I found that CUPS was doing that every-few-seconds drive tick, though I wasn't sure what it was doing at that time - I saw nothing logged about what it was doing. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
