1 Hello list,
2
3 My little Atom box's hard disk spins up every minute or so, and watching
4 iotop I see it's jbd2 that does it.
5
6 This is a kernel component, and the menuconfig help text says it's set
7 automatically by having the block layer included (and who hasn't?) together
8 with ext4.
9
10 Google shows that others have similar problems.
11
12 Before I re-create all the partitions as reiserfs - and remove ext4 from the
13 kernel - does anyone have a lighter solution?
