Everything seemed to work nice until I noticed in my "daily security run output" list of kernel messages that suggests that disks get awaken every night at 3 am. Could someone suggest what could trigger my disks to wake up? BTW, I am not running smartd daemon, so that cannot be an issue. Thanks in advance, Alexander.
