Just dist-upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and I have started noticing it here too. Not only the 'chkhkhk' every 10 seconds, verified by iotop, but every now and then there is a high-pitched very soft whine as though it is spinning... i can stop this simply by running 'find /' and hitting ctrl-c. I have tried kernel 3.2 and 3.5, same result.
I shut down firefox - still happens. Used elinks for a while. Still happens. The noise is unbearable. I am going to have to switch to a different distro or something. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607560 Title: jbd2 writing block every 5 - 10 seconds, preventing disk spin-down and making noise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/607560/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
