I've never been too clear on what to do with BASE_PERIOD, since there is no step generating thread on systems with my hardware. Should I set it the same as SERVO_PERIOD? This is on the Ubuntu 6.06 Linux, and there seems to be something making a burst of 2 disk accesses every 2 seconds. It reminds me of what it sounds like if something is pouring debug data into the kernel log, but that doesn't seem to be going on, and it does it even when EMC2 is not running. Not a major deal, but any unecesssary tasks, and anything that might fill up the disk with junk ought to be shut off. Some people leave these machines on 24/7.
