rCX, I'm not sure I'd call every 1-2 minutes tolerable, though it is certainly better. Why does there need to be any excess disk activity at all? On a netbook install, 1-2 minutes will still prevent the system from going to sleep automatically because the disk activity fools the system into thinking it's not idle. Besides, its loud.
Is there a mechanism to disable this process or is it required if journaling is used? Why doesn't ext3 have this behavior? It's also a journaling filesystem, right? -- jbd2 writing block every 5 - 10 seconds, preventing disk spin-down and making noise https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607560 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
