My HD never stops since installing severn. This doesn't happen in windoze or SuSE, didn't happen in shrike. I don't recognize anything in top that might cause this. All that useless activity interferes with A/V play. The noise is annoying too. How to I find out what's doing this and stop it? -- "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom...."
