I'll venture to guess that your system is busy running cron jobs that
you missed while the machine was off. If one of those jobs is
updating the "locate" database (which happens daily by default), that
would account for several minutes of churning.
You can probably shed light on this by running "top" during the disk
activity, and see what's running. I bet it's "updatedb".
