Use vmstat 2 100 to watch swap file activity. The 2 is delay or refresh rate in seconds and the 100 is repeat. Increase 100 for longer monitoring and lesser for shorter. in the swap column si is swap in and so swap out.

All my machines are AMD and I have never had much luck with lm-sensors. All I ever use it for now is to see if temps rise or drop.

Thanks again! Looks like there's no swap activity - at least according to vmstat.

One other possibility: Where did you change the setting to control the disk writes? If you did it locally, did you save the settings? If you did it on the WCG site, did you a-save and b-reset the local machine to the web based settings?

I did it locally and pressed "OK" in Preferences->disc and memory usage...is there something else I need to do in order for it to save the setting?

This should help:

 sudo rm -r /dev/pants/sticky

he he, Linux humor - I'm finally starting to get it.
