hi,

i run in a weird problem: a script which use the "sleep" command, generates hardisk access every x seconds. this is really annoyning cause i can hear the harddisk sound.
an other user reported the same behavier.

the script:

while true; do
sleep 3
done


output from "strace  sleep 3":

regards jochen
