SubjectEradic disk access during reads
Date
Monitoring disk access using gkrellm, I noticed that a command like

cat /dev/hda > /dev/null

shows eradic disk reads ranging from 0 to 80MB/s on an otherwise idle system.

1. Is this a hardware or software problem?
2. Is there a lightweight perf-mon tool (cmd-line) that would log this
behaviour graphically?

Thanks!
