Same problem here, using Kubuntu 10.04 LTS with ext4 and a brand new hard disk. I noticed it also on my laptop.
Running iotop, jbd2/sda1-8 does seem to be very frequently writing to the disk. But there are also some writes that aren't logged. Hope this problem can be solved soon! -- kjournald2 writing to disk every few seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483569 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
