I'm basing this on a couple of things - first when I shut down the OpenAFS server the disk activity stops. Second, I ran iotop to examine the io usage and the writes were going to the 2 loop devices I was using to test OpenAFS and nothing else is using that area but OpenAFS. And finally, top shows fileserver popping up every 10 seconds when the disk activity to the loop devices is occurring and then it goes back to sleep. Is it possible that because I'm using loop devices something out of the norm is occuring? John
