Hard disk works spontaneously

Hard disk begins suddenly to work

Why does the hard disk, sometimes quite spontaneously begin to work?

A cron-daemon runs in the background. This is a program which launches given commands at a given time (or in intervals). By default Cron is configured that it erases old files in the /tmp directory and updates the data base for locate. If you do not want this behaviour, you can switch it off in YaST under System administration -> change configuration file.
