Description Simon Dales 2005-09-07 23:09:15 UTC 
Disk light flicks on every second or so (flick,flick,sleep) when the machine is 
idle. A similar flick, but different pattern occurs in XP. If you put your head 
to the case you can hear the disk arm move every twenty seconds.

It occurs in 64 bit suse 9.3 and 10beta4 and XP, but not 32 bit.

a) what's going on?
b) does it matter? Probably stops the disk sleeping, and wears the arm out.
