[NTLUG:Discuss] Debian hard drive crankiness

[Moses McKnight]

Howdy all,

I run Debian unstable, and a while back after some upgrade/install the hard 
drive now cranks every morning about 7:30 AM for about 20 minutes rendering the 
computer unusable in the meantime.  I think it's the updatedb program updating 
the database for finding files quickly.  How do I turn this off, uninstall it, 
or at least tell it to run at 1:00 AM or something?

Thanks,
Moses McKnight
