Wheezy: Konqueror disk activity

[Ldten K <ldtenk@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

For some reason, Konqueror is writing a small amount of data every 10 seconds or so in my setup, even if Konqueror is just showing content of a folder with no other activity taking place. atop shows something like the following when Konqeror is running:

RDDSK   WRDSK   WCANCL   DSK    CMD  
OK      8K      8K       100%   konqueror

Even though the write is supposedly canceled according to the above, the hard disk activity light briefly comes on and the disk makes a sound like it's doing something.

I mostly use Konqueror as a file manager and am puzzled why it needs to write something to disk every 10 seconds or if there is a setting somewhere that would disable this behavior.

Any ideas? Thanks
