It was caused by b134 gnome-terminal. I had an iostat running in a gnome-terminal window, and the periodic iostat output is written to a temporary file by gnome-terminal. This kept the hdd busy. Older gnome-terminals (b111) didn't write terminal output to a disk file. Workaround is to use xterm instead of b134 gnome-terminal. for a command that periodically produces output Another problematic binary is firefox. It periodically writes to the sqlite database files in the profile directory $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/ -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
