These seeks happen about every 6-9 seconds when reading a file that was
written unfragmented (in that case, the floppy-head shouldn't move more
than one track at once). The time between the seeks seems to vary depending
on the filesystem on the disk.
Originially, I thought these head-movements would be caused by updating the
file's access-time, but they also happen on read-only mounted msdos-disks,
so this can't be the reason.
Anyone got a better explanation (and possibly a fix)?
