Thanks. The fstab tweak has made a big difference. There is still some activity but is much less regular and occurs at 20 - 35 second intervals now rather than the regular 5 second intervals as before. I've done the hdparm command even though it didn't seem to have any effect. I haven't tried editing syslog.conf yet as I wanted to see what the effect of the fstab tweak was first. BTW I rebooted my system to get that to take effect. For future reference is there a more convenient way to do it? --Zoltan -- Zoltan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zoltan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9998 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39833 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
