** Description changed:
This is on Hardy from a fresh install on a Toshiba Satellite laptop.
When on AC, the disk does not work until I ask it to work, or until
tracker for example starts indexing. But as soon as I unplug the cable,
the disk starts working on an extremely regular way, every 3 seconds. It
makes a short noise, the led shines a little, and sometimes it works
again less strongly 1 sec later, sometimes twice. This never stops until
I'm on AC.
atop -d reports that no process is using the disk (except for 1 sec sometimes
a program coming up), but pdflush is always at the top:
PID RDDSK WRDSK WRDSK_CANCEL DSK CMD
157 0K 132K 0K 97% pdflush
and others are at 0% disk use.
I can find no error in my system logs. This is occurring even when I
- only start my computer and wait with the GDM greeter. It's just like the
- system has inverted its behavior and uses the disk when it shouldn't (on
- battery), and vice-versa!
+ only start a standard session on a pristine user account. When only GDM
+ is started there is an activity, but much less frequent so I think this
+ is not the same problem.

I don't really know were I can search for more debugging nor to which package
I should report it. Please just ask and I'll have a look.
