Wierd one here...

VMWare server.  Linux gutsy server.  VMWare guest images are actually
located on an NFS filesystem shared from a NAS server.  The Linux host
though is constantly nailing out it's disk IO.

I thought it might be swap except swap is /dev/sda5.  "iostat -c -d -p
2" though shows all the IO is on /dev/sda1, the root partition.  I've
run a "find . -mtime -1 -ls" and I'm not finding anything growing
rapidly or quickly.  I thought it might be process accounting but I
don't believe that's turned on by default.  The only thing I see very
active on the system is the vmware-server but again, it's not really
supposed to be writing anything to / anyway.

Any thoughts?
  Robert
