Hi!
I leave my FC2 machine on at night and after about 8 hours of inactivity it starts some insane hardisk activity. This activity takes about one hour to complete and the PC is extremely little responsive while it is doing it. At the end of this activity, all my applications are closed down and I am logged out.
I wonder what this could be and how necessary it is?
I know RH9 used to do an updatedb and some other things at 4 a.m., but this happens arround 6 or 7 a.m. and it takes soooo awfully long and it logs me out.
Any ideas what it can be?
If you know the time when this happens, check /var/log/messages to see if the application(s) did some logging.
Also check for root's and other users crontab to see if there is something scheduled for the night...
Thanks, Catalin
Just a thought...
Alex
