Thanks for the answers guys.

to Hugues Tranli:

>maybe it's related to a daemon/software running in the background.
Well, that's pretty much what everybody want to find out. But seems it's not
that easy.

I'm on Xubuntu 11.10 on 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 20:45:39 UTC
2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux on AMD CPU.
cat /etc/fstab and cat /proc/mounts give me usual default settings:
/ ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered
Except that I changed relatime to noatime. Though it's almost the same and on
desktop it doesn't give noticeable change in disk usage.

Block_dump:
See message 73 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/607560
but overall it's like this:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump
Watch results in syslog (note that syslog will frequently write to disk) or by
periodically running dmesg. To get more "clean" results - disable kernel
logging in syslog, enable block_dump, wait some time or do something in the
system, then reenable kernel logging - results of block_dump should appear in
syslog.
I'm not aware of convenient way to watch it in realtime.


to Jan Kara:

Enabling ext4_mark_inode_dirty gives me constant flood of events where
xfce4-terminal dirties mostly two same inodes:

Is it expected behavior? This is default terminal in Xubuntu.
