I am searching the source of some every 2/3 seconds

If you are using a journalling file system like ext3, this is normal and
shouldn't stress your hard disk.

How is that? And how does that correspond to my
observation that it must be the x-window-system
that is taking a role in this situation? Can
you explain, please?
I find the answer confusing as well. No matter what FS
one is using, it shouldn't be writing the disc unless
someone requests it. The write may be delayed, but it
shouldn't be created out of thin air. Same thing for
reads. Somewhere there is a process doing disc I/O.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
