Hi, linux newbie here :-)
Now and again when I am upstairs where my DNS323 is located I see that both disk lights are flickering like mad, yet there *should* not really be too much going on with it at the time.?
How can I see exactly what is doing this in Linux.?
TIA

once you have logged in via ssh/telnet use either top or ps to see what is running (press q to quit top)

Thanks, but that does not show me what might be hammering the disks.
I googled and found about iostat. sar and sadc but they do not work. I get 'not found' when typing the command.

how about
lsof | grep /mnt/H
which should give you processname PID on the begining of the line and the file accessed on the local disks on the end of each line..

Thanks.
That goes someway to showing what files are used, but not what is causing all the disk activity.
I've googled a bit more and found a way at http://linuxadministration.us/2009/07/2 … g-disk-io/ to do it but not the commands on the DNS323.

but if you know what files are being used you (or we) may be able to work out what is using them .... You could post the outputs you get from ps and lsof | grep /mnt/H .....

Ok, thank you, will keep an eye out for the next time and issue the commands.
Just curious as to what it might be.
Thanks again.
