Re: Constant disk access in 3.1?

Bruce, I tried this a few days ago and it worked for about an hour....  Today 
I started looking at the services running (prompted by someone saying they 
started killing processes until it went away) and the CDR/W monitor seems to 
be the culprit, at least in my situation. Again, I am using XFS for a 
filesystem and another post said something about reiser and noatime being 
set. Could be related....  Anyhow, it seems to have solved the issue on my 
end (for at least another hour...).  Ill let you know if it starts up 
again....
