I can not figure out why my HD is spinning up so frequently. I set the time down to 1 minute, with no one logged in, only process other than defualt but sshd, and the system still reads. There's 48megs of RAM, so I can't immagine it needs to swap. Is there a way to determine what is using my harddrive? Michael
