hard drives run full speed for about 5 minutes at boot
by vansch76 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GCJE)
Hello everyone
I am running Mint 19.3 Cinnamon version 4.4.8. Kernal4.15.0-76-generic
My hard drives run full speed for about 5 minutes every time I start my computer. its like something is indexing my hard drives. There are three in my system. 4gig-mint Linux, 2gig-windooze10, 4gig-backup.
I don't know that I have installed anything that would cause them to run this way. They slow down what I consider normal operation after about 5 minutes.
Is there some service or weird program that would cause this?
I have had one 4gig drive fail after only 3 years. After replacing it and reinstalling mint 19, it does the same running full speed for 5 minutes.
Don't the use win10 often enough to notice if it does it on that drive.
Thanks in advance for your advice
Vanessa
