Well, in NT at least, there's some filesystem activity for every request
made of the web server, since it has to read the ACLs for the file. I
suspect that some of that may be "cached" in NTFS metadata in memory, but
for an interesting disk-eye view of a web server, put the Sysinternals
utility NTFILEMON on it, and check it out:
