File Indexing

Greetings,

Does Linux do something similar to the Mac OS File indexing?

I've noticed the hard drive thrashing about sometimes for long
periods of time (greater than 30 seconds), but it doesn't appear
to be using the swap at all. This can happen when I'm not doing
much of anything.

I've noticed similar behavior on my Intel box with RH Linux.

Is there any explanation for this? General disk clean up?

Thanks,

Drew
