Okay, I did more investigation and something definitely isn't right here. My desktop is running the same OS with latest updates; the only difference is that it was upgraded from jaunty instead of a fresh install. On there, I can go idle for hours without any difference in my df free space.
On my laptop, df decreases by 8 bytes every half second or so, as with the attachment. The surprising thing is that it appears to be the very act of doing a df that causes the free space to go down by 4-16 bytes each time, no matter how long I wait. This of course varies because there is actual logging going on. I also tried to find out which files were being modified; my suspicions were the logs. Many of the most recently touched files were /proc, but excluding those, I couldn't find anything meaningful. There were /tmp and .mozilla stuff that looked correct. Very frustrating bug, if that. ** Attachment added: "find" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33965912/find -- kjournald2 writes to disk about every 10 seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442443 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
