Constant Disk activity RN104 w/6.1.8

Yeah, I saw that.
It's a dumb design since it flies in the face of over 30 years of precedent, and there is already a way to tell if a disk is inserted.
Well, now that I know that a solid light means (essentially) nothing, I will just ignore it. I guess the scrub and defrag were really all I needed, since MySQL and file performance has returned to what I consider to be "acceptable."
I still would like to see the light's function change -- to comply with standards.
