bdflush() is a system call, not a program. See the bdflush man page,
and /usr/src/linux/fs/buffer.c.
I thought bdflush() only wrote dirty file system buffers, so another
process (or kernel task) must be dirtying them. Try dropping into
single-user mode ("telinit 1") and starting and stopping individualy
programs (with "/etc/init.d/foo start" and "... stop") and seeing
whether the disk is used.
