Re: [LUG] Blinking Problem

Greetings,

Over the past few days my ssd activity light started to emit a blink
at about 3 second intervals even though there is no other activity
going on.

I haven't changed anything since installing Debian 11 a few weeks ago
and the SSD is only a few months old.

Any ideas please?

Yes. I would like to know why you've constituted this as a "problem"? Your computer's operating system unsurprisingly requires periodic disk access.

If you _really_ care for some reason, check your system logs. If they don't have a "problem", neither does your computer. If you really insist tools such as iotop will give you a better handle on what's happening. If you really really insist then BPF trace it.

My workstation has a similar LED to yours - it's literally solid on 24/7 from the moment it finishes POST. Doesn't even blink. Funnily enough I'm not worried ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
