I just built a CentOS7 system on a Zotac NANO PC.
I used a 320GB 2.5" HD I had sitting around and installed with Standard Partitions on XFS.
The drive is spinning, nonstop.
How can I monitor if there is actually disk i/o to warrant this constant spinning.
So noatime for all partitions work with XFS? I did some browsing and the claim is XFS uses realtime which is better? than noatime?
Perhaps it is just occasional writes to messages (at least 1 a minute) that determines to keep on spinning.
But it is annoying.
