Is the phisical machine dedicated ? Is a dedicated VM on shared metal ? Apart from this operational checks I will assume the machine is dedicated.
In Solr a write to the disk does not happen only on commit, I can think to other scenarios : 1) *Transaction log* [1] 2) 3) Spellcheck and SuggestComponent building ( this depends on the config in case you use them) 4) memory Swapping ? 5) merges ( they are triggered potentially by a segment writing or an explicit optimize call and they can last a while potentially) Maybe other edge cases, but i would first check this list!
