Re: [LI] RHL keeps on read/write HDD every 6 seconds !!? simply

["Rahul" <crsoni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,
here's something strange i noticed -
in RHL 6.1 if i sync the disks, say 4-5 times continuously, it always seems
to have
something to write to the disk, i.e. there's disk activity.
This does not happen in RH 6 or 5.2. What's happening?

rahul
