Subject: [gentoo-user] HDD LED flashes constantly in X
Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 10:16:36 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200507071016.36491.bogo-mipps@e3.net.nz> (raw)

Ever since I emerged KDE 3.4 this week the LED for my HDD's have developed a 
regular 2 per second flash - while the system is sitting ostensibly idle.

Can't see anything significant in the way of processes (top & ps aux), and 
googling produces nothing similar anywhere.  

When I close X, the rhythmic beat of the LED stops!  Performance doesn't seem 
affected, but the thought of this constant churn disturbs me.

Any ideas appreciated.
