If you want to know possible culprits, check your /etc/crontab - by default, it's set up to do some maintenance stuff between 5 and 6 in the morning. fuser is in the psmisc package Jiri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Is there a utility like top to check for who or what is accessing the disks? Thanks, Chris * Chris Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] !!! HELP FIGHT SPAM !!!
