    I'd certainly run lsof - you may need to install it - and see what the
    file system thinks is going on.

    And running a system monitor to see file system and swap accesses
    going on.

    Are you running a MTA? Is your mail system testing a local pop3
    mailbox every minute or something?

    Hve you tried an ls -ltR ~ to see what the most recently 'touched'
    file in your home tree is? Then in /var/log or /var/spool?
