Hi there,
I have an old server (home use now), and i just did a fresh install of 5.8 on it. But the disk is constantly noisy.
When running iotop, there is nothing blaring out at me.
(sample output)

And in nmon, the damn thing looks like it is doing nothing:

Any tips to quiet this thing down? The server is very low use. I read a few people suggest converting to ext 2, but I'm not so sure about htat,..
Any tips?
