Someone mentioned to me that unknown hard disk activity could be due to
locate building it's index? Could this be it? Can anyone clarify?

Hi Dave,
I am running 7.2 since almost a week now, but I am not at the computer a
lot. Perhaps it rattles from 8am until 6pm (when I am not here), but I
have not heard anything strange at other times. But then, the hard working
disk etc. did not happen very often, perhaps once a month.
And I don't know what controls the work, and if this thing can be
controlled...
Paul
