Hello,

I'd like to make the disk spin down after some idle time. But there
seem to be some kind of disk access.

Is it a problem running cron and atrun?
Is it a problem if the /proc filesystem is accessed?
Except of syslog and dhclient what else can cause disk access?
Some of my processes are: devd, named, usbd, sendmail, cron,
privoxy, X, wmmixer, wmtop and gkrellm.
