I'm not sure how to check for disk activity.  Normally I'd see a
disk light on, but it's not now.  If the disk were louder, then
I could hear it chatter, but I can't.  I explored some system
monitor programs, but none that I found had anything disk related
other than swapping.  Any ideas?   I'll also look at the [in]active
disk activity, once I know where/how to look.

Thanks....
