Greetings all; Its come to my attention that something has already destroyed one hard drive in that box, forcing a reinstall and a recovery session with amanda to recover my stuff, and I am wondering if whatever is polling the drives at 2 second intervals was a contributing factor. So I just logged into that box and ran htop, discovering that networkmanager was also running although everything it touches has been subjected to a chattr +i, effectively emasculating that bit of crap. So the first thing I did was to sudo apt-get purge networkmanager. On rerunning htop, I found that udev-daemon and hal-addon-storage were polling /dev/sr0 at 2 second intervals.
Can those be disabled? Can I not mount the optical drive by hand in the event its needed? Also, gnome-power-manager is in the top 20 of the htop list. Perhaps that might be disabled also?
