Just seems oddly repetitive to me, and persists after being left running for hours (been up 3 hours today and 4hr last night). And really not much is showing in /var/adm/SYSLOG
I can see sgindexAdmin running in there occasionally, but that doesn't seem to be the cause of this access, as that runs for a bit then completes for various tasks. As well it does make it's own disk accesses when doing that. These constant access still occur while gr_osview shows almost 100% idle with little pulses that seem to correspond to them.


I'll see about finding another hard drive so I can preserve my sanity with it right next to me on my desk, as it never stops.
