Hi -

Is there a way to find out which processes are initiating disk accesses?

I've been using my laptop on the road more often recently and I want
be able to spin down the drive when it's not needed.  I downloaded 
hdparm to set the spindown time, but there are a lot of accesses going
on that wake up the drive often.

Is this update working?  Can I restart update with parameters to only
write out the cache at longer intervals?  Should I also disable all
swap space to minimize disk accesses?

I have a P133 IBM 560 running Debian 2.0.

Thanks,

- Justin
