I installed Ignition 7.9.0 on an Ubuntu 14.04 server for testing and noticed a lot of disk activity. On investigation it is constantly writing about 40K - 50K / second to the disk. I’ve turned off historical tags and disconnected the only database connection but it made no difference.

I can’t remember this happening with previous versions. Does anyone know the reason for it?
