Some process or some such thing seems to be writing on my disk small
quantities of data (the statistics collected by the aic7xxx driver
tell me they're in the 1-2K range) at regular intervals (every 9
seconds, to be precise). This is annoying because I want to sleep :-)
I'm trying to figure out what it is. Does there exist some way I can
ask the kernel to tell me what called a particular disk write? Or
would it be feasible to patch the kernel to do such at thing?
(E.g. by maintaining a file in the /proc directory where the causes of
the last disk reads and writes would be kept.)
Thanks,
