Thanks.  Didn't know about that one.

Installed that.  Processes frequently using disk seem to be:
  jbd2/dm-0-8
  dhcpd -q
  kworker/0:0
  kworker/0:3

jbd2 is of course the journaling process for my RAIDs.  But who's I/O is 
it journalling?

dhcpd -- whi does it have to read disk every second?  connctions aren't 
being made that oftern, are they?

And what are the kworkers all about?  Somthing kde-ish?  I only 
occasionally use any kind of graphicl interface, and when I do it's over 
X to  screen on another machine.  Not doing that now.

Or is it k for kernel?
