I don't know if this is the same thing, but I had an annoying clicking of the hard disk on my laptop. What fixed it for me was adjusting the drive's power management setting. You can see the current setting with the command hdparm -I /dev/hda | grep 'power management' and adjust it with a command like hdparm -B 200 /dev/hda I found that values of 200 or more improved things for me, though I think the settings may vary from drive to drive. If you find a value you like you can put the appropriate flag in /etc/sysconfig/harddisks to have it applied at boot time. Ron
