Re: [opensuse] How to find out which process is accessing the disk?

Hello,

I have OpenSuSE 11.1 installed and very often, after the machine is idle
for a few hours, some process starts using the disk very heavily. When I
get back to the computer it is almost unusable, everything is freezing
and lagging while the disk continues working heavily. After a few
minutes it gets better, but something still continues using the disk.
I don't have beagle installed.
How do I find out which process is accessing the disk when this happens?

Thanks,

Marcelo

Open a terminal session and start top. That will show what's keeping
the CPU busy.
