I am trying to reduce hard-disk activity on my system. Running iotop shows that Eclipse (the IDE, latest version (Luna)) is writing kilobytes of data every few seconds.So I ran strace on the eclipse process and the only writes that I can see are to a file-descriptor that points to eventfd.I am not familiar with eventfd, but it seems like an event bus of some sort. Does write to it get accounted as a disk write?
Are writes to eventfd counted as io?
