I do but know not what. And what could explain it? Please, note that it occurs on both harddisks and on both controllers. Something cron related? Something swap related, since there is swap space on both disks? I think, however, that swap is hardly used: Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/ad0s1b 524160 16 524144 0% Interleaved /dev/rad2b 524160 0 524160 0% Interleaved Total 1048320 16 1048304 0% I am not aware of any enormous hard disk activity at the times in the list. The machine does: DNS, Web, Mail. Not very busy: load averages: 0.09, 0.06, 0.05 The machine runs: FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #11: Wed Jan 8 00:25:26 CET 2003. The motherboard (ECS Elite P6FX2-A for dual pentium pro, 440FX chipset) has been complaining about ata for a long time (with slightly different wording in the past, but I guess that was a change in the code). But it gets more frequent now.
