Ever since I upgraded my ubuntu to 10.04, I have noticed that hard disk activity light is on all the time. I checked around and found that stopping zoneminder "fixes" this problem As soon as I start ZM, the problem comes back. This was not the case before the upgrade. How can I troubleshoot what is going wrong?
Thanks
Zoneminder makes hard disk busy all the time
Re: Zoneminder makes hard disk busy all the time
Which mode are you using?. If you have lots of events in modect or mocord, then the hard disk should be working always.
After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...
Re: Zoneminder makes hard disk busy all the time
I am using MODECT on my monitors (16 in all). The thing is that before Ubuntu upgrade, the hard disk activity LED was not lit all the time. I have not changed anything in zoneminder before or after Ubuntu upgrade.
