Is there a dtrace script usable by novices (i.e., me) that will help
me figure out which process is accessing my disk every 3 seconds?

I moved my home directory to an external disk and now I can hear the
disk rattle every 3 seconds.  It's driving me crazy!  I really want
to find the culprit.

I found the DTraceToolkit and used the iofileb.d script, which is
pretty close, but according to it there were no accesses to files
on the disk I'm watching.  That seems wrong.  Really I'd like to get
a trace as the accesses are happening, not a summary at the end.

(BTW, any chance it's zfs itself accessing the disk?)

Thanks.
