>How can I find out which application is to blame? Probably the best application for this would be 'atop' from universe, but to monitor disk activity, it requires the kernel patch 'cnt' to be installed - see man pages of atop. At least my Edgy kernel (2.6.17-10 generic) doesn't have that patch by default. Sounds useful, thought.
Anyway, if someone manages to install the patch by him/herself, the command for monitoring disk activity would be 'atop -d'. -- Continuing HDD spin ups and downs without laptop-mode. https://launchpad.net/bugs/40315 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
