[gentoo-user] who does fire HDD led?
Even just after boot (before login) HDD led shows that somebody polls hdd (or dvd) drive(s) every ~1-2 sec. Who is it? Where/what to config? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

You may want to check the output of dmesg and whatever log files you may have in /var/log/. lshal may provide useful output as well. -- Ian Graeme Hilt ian.hilt (at) gmail.com GnuPG key: 0x4AFC1EE3 -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I don't see this behaviour - but then, I did my last update world a couple of days ago. Uwe -- Ignorance killed the cat, sir, curiosity was framed! -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

You could try /etc/init.d/hald stop. This will tell you whether it's hal that's polling. Also, like I said in my previous post, look at dmesg and the log files under /var/log/. It may tell you which process is polling. Is hdd a hard drive, dvd-rom drive, etc.? If it's a hard drive, do you have media in the dvd drive when this polling occurs? lshal -m while ejecting and inserting media is informative of hals actions. -- Ian Graeme Hilt ian.hilt (at) gmail.com GnuPG key: 0x4AFC1EE3 -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
