[mythtv-users] HDD Disk Activity when idle

[Christian Fredriksson]

I've also had the flashing hdd-light and after running some debugging 
with the command "strace -p fronendpid/backendpid" I found out that it 
was the media insertion that made the hdd-light flash. I disabled it and 
the flashing was gone. I was running KnoppMyth R4V4.1 , mythtv 0.15.1 
when this happend.
