Could be updatedb running, if you have slocate or locate installed. Usually if 
the box is quiet, and something is thrashing the disk, then you can spot it 
with 'top'. Failing that, you could try lsof, netstat, vmstat, sar.

I know there are others, but I can't think of them at this time of the 
night :-(
