pidstat can help on this, but moblin didn't have this tool in repo, so you can 
copy one from other distros like fedora.

We had encountered similar issue in old system, but now it seemed work well. 
Which version moblin/platform are you using? 
Please post your result on this investigation if you like.

Subject: [Moblin Dev] Spin down disk for saving power

Hi

    I'm trying to use "hdparm" to spin down disk for saving power.
    It works, but after a while the disk wakes up again (checked by "hdparm
-C /dev/sda").
    I guess some processes access disk in the background periodically.
    Does any one know why this happens or is there any tool can find
out which process is accessing disk?
