I am a new Debian user. On a freshly purchased laptop I installed Debian jessie and I am facing a constant recurring disk noise.
Have searched the forums on various lists and tried out suggested solutions. Following is the relevant information: Laptop spec: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-15-r200-Notebook-PC-series/7486447/model/7748035/document/c04576750/ # uname -a Linux hp 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1 (2015-05-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux # hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep level Advanced power management level: disabled # iotop -obtqqq 15:56:43 89 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.13 % [kworker/1:1] 15:56:46 89 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.14 % [kworker/1:1] 15:56:48 89 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.14 % [kworker/1:1] 15:56:49 89 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.12 % [kworker/1:1] 15:56:51 89 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.12 % [kworker/1:1] 15:56:53 89 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.12 % [kworker/1:1] 15:56:55 89 be/4 root 0.00 B/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 0.13 % [kworker/1:1] No file in /var/log is seen changing frequently. There is no X installed, leave alone any desktop manager. It's a bare bone installation which is merely started. smart, hal : not installed The laptop has a builtin freedos partition. If I boot to that there is no disk noise. Thus it may not be a drive problem. Would appreciate help in fixing the unnecessary disk Mayuresh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
