I have noticed that my computer will often go into periods of furious disk
access at very odd hours so, last time it happened, I decided to take a
look and see what was going on (I also wanted to get to sleep).
My search turned up a find process running as root for no apparent reason
at all so I proceeded to shut down all applications that were running and
kill it, after which the disk activity stopped. Any idea what may have
spawned the find process?
I was running, as far as I can remember, the following:
-Netscape
-a couple Konsoles
-LICQ
-Grip (the cd player)
-xmms
None of them should've been doing anything special (i.e. downloading,
playing music, etc.)
