Is it still possible to use healthd or mbmon? By the way, I'm 100% sure that the problem is with the CPU load.

Can I do something to reduce the load on the CPU? "gnome-volume-manage" uses 99% of the CPU, constantly - why? > --Alex > > PS Many disks which support SMART can display their apparent temp as > one of the SMART parameters (see sysutils/smartmontools).
