From the diskseekd man page
The fun bit is in the description:
Several people have noticed that Linux has a bad tendency of killing floppy drives. These failures remained completely mysterious, until somebody noticed that they were due to huge layers of dust accumulating in the floppy drives. This cannot happen under Messy Dos, because this excuse for an operating system is so unstable that it crashes roughly every 20 minutes (actually less if you are running Windows). When rebooting, the BIOS seeks the drive, and by doing this, it shakes the dust out of the drive mechanism. CWdiskseekd simulates this effect by seeking the drive periodically. If it is called as CWdiskseek, the drive is seeked only once.

Its Official...
...well, as offical as it can be. I will be moving at the end of the month, for the 16th time, to Santa Clara, CA. I just bought my first condo, 2bed 2bath off El Camino Real. Attached is a link to some pictures, not the exact unit, but it looks identical. Feel free to mute the music. :)
Im going to aim to move the 3rd weekend of this month, but it could be the last weekend depending on close of escrow. Will have a party in the bay once everything is settled
