Over the last couple weeks I have noticed my Myth BE/FE box writing to disk
about every 6 seconds. I use GKrellM in daemon mode to monitor my machines
and see the activity in a graph with reads separated from writes, very
noticeably. I also see the drive light wink on the front of the machine, even
when there's no recording or playback or anything going on. This didn't
happen before, and I really haven't added anything to the machine since the
20.2 upgrade. Here's a ps ax from the machine - does anyone recognize any
culprits? Can you recommend anything that would tell me what is doing those
writes?
