[Samba] RE: standby mode

[Green, Paul]

I think you answered your own question. Samba (smbd) is a service. It is
doing its job and ready to offer service at any time. Apparently this
involves periodically accessing the disk. There is nothing wrong with this;
it is normal operation. Samba won't work anyway when you are in standby, so
you might as well stop it when you are done using it.
