Funny you mentioned that. I just noticed the same thing! The HD activity
light blips every one or two seconds. I restarted the box without loading
svscan (which loads dnscache, tinydns and qmail) - all is quiet. In the
previous week, I had not installed qmail, and there was much less disk activity.
And I don't even have any users configured in qmail yet - in fact, a message
hasn't even gone through yet!
Can anyone tell me what it's doing?
