So I installed Arch the other day on my old computer, after getting tired of Ubuntu's slowness and outdated versions of software. But I seem to be having a problem. Now keep in mind that this HDD works fine at all other times, and the SMART data seems OK.
When pacman is actually installing a package (i.e. "(1/2) installing [package]"), the process sometimes hangs, while the hard drive is making a repetitive noise. This only happens directly after the package install. The system does not freeze while it is doing this. At all other times, the hard drive behaves normally and the system runs smoothly. Is there anything that pacman reads/writes to directly after the package install that could be causing this?
EDIT: This seems to be happening on removal of packages as well.
