Perhaps you're using a journalled file system now? (eg. ext3, reiser etc)
Another possibility is that it is woken up by *access* to file - the
kernel will then update the "last access time" (atime). This can be
avoided my mounting the filesystem with the "noatime" option, but will
effectively break things that rely on atime (popularity-contest, some
mail notification tools)
If you're using ext2 throughout the disk (excluding swap :-), then
the noflushd package will probably be useful for you.
