I have an old server (home use now), and i just did a fresh install of 5.8 on it. But the disk is constantly noisy.
When running iotop, there is nothing blaring out at me.
Any tips to quiet this thing down?
hdparm and smartmontools are your friends maybe. I would trying the following:
The disk is ok? S.M.A.R.T long selftest/status is ok?
Automatic Acoustic Management feature set? AAM (Actually I really dont know if this would/could help) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_acoustic_management
Power Management feature set? play with Power Management Settings of the harddrive.
