Any progress on this?
I have the same problem with my lombard pb. Worse even, since
the aging disk makes a buttload of noise when it spins up.
One extra process that noone's mentioned yet: ntpd. This is responsible for
at least one spinup per hour. Kill it and your clock will slowly drift. But if
that doesn't matter, it shouldn't be a problem.
Also, there's a process called "SecurityServer" which is writing every 10 minutes.
With update turned off, this doesn't get flushed to disk very often.
I assume SecurityServer is logging something, somewhere. It does log to /var/log/secure.log
whenever certain events happen (sudo, for example). But what could it be doing
every 10 minutes?
