Constant disk activity

I am constantly hearing disc activity on my ds218+. In the Activity manager I can see constant read/write on the performance overview. In the task list I can’t see anything showing read/write, other than Swap, but that shows up less frequently than i hear the clicking. The RAM usage on the system is also under 50%.

Can anyone help? I am driving myself insane, trying to find the cause. I disabled the usage history in the performance monitor and all docker containers are paused.

Tippon,

It might be the built in media apps generating thumbnails.

This was my guess. Maybe Plex also processing removal of intros and credits too.

tmat256,

I would ssh into the machine and run commands like top, lsof and ps to try to figure out what is running and what files are being used.
