Something like this? ----- echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable more /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace ----- I tried recreating the situation of the last 2 days (clean boot, stopped services) and it's currently quiescing nicely. :-( I'll keep an eye on it and try to catch it in the act but every time I turn the tracing on the HDD light stays firmly off. :-( Regards, @ndy -- andyjpb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.ashurst.eu.org/ 0x7EBA75FF _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
