For some days ago my amahi server started to access HD all the time, I hear the disks and see the HD's light on all the time.
Any suggestions?
Squeezecenter accessing Hard disks constantly!
Re: Amahi server accessing Hard disks constantly!
per our conversation in the channel, things look relative normal, as far as system logs is concerned (/var/log/messages and dmesg).
the squeezebox server does take a lof ot memory and rescans periodically.
if you have a lot of music, maybe that is taking some CPU.
run:
and also
(yum install iotop may be required)
to see what's up in real time.

Re: Amahi server accessing Hard disks constantly!
are you downloading torrents? are you downloading from newsgroups?
both of them would warrant disk activity. If you have a minimum amount of memory the disk activity might be due to excessive swapping

I would advise installing "atop"
great tool... and can gather statistics as well (with bundled atopsar)

Re: Amahi server accessing Hard disks constantly!
You can add the noatime parameter to your /etc/fstab file. This goes after the defaults option (ie defaults,noatime).
I use the noatime parameter on some of my Linux notebooks, particularly if the have SSDs.
You can learn about noatime via 'man fstab'.
***WARNING DO NOT MISSPELL ANY CHANGES to /etc/fstab'. There is a command to test this out first, I don't have it in front of me. An error in fstab can result in a non-bootable system.

Thanks all for the advice. I manage to fix the problem. it was an error with some symlinks and squeezebox scanning it all the time.
