Why the grub-mount command invoked ?

Do we have any clue upon this question ?

As I was on my Laptop I heard the CPU fun struggling and I ran the top command to see what's happening and I saw the grub-mount command (invoked by root) with a CPU footprint of 100%. My query is : why this command invoked ?  I certainly didn't run this command (or any other command - I wasn't in terminal at all) and I also searched in all cron folders with

grep -Ri grub

and

grep -Ri fuse

but didn't result anything.

This is an Arch Linux with 3.13.6-1-ARCH x86_64. DE= GNOME and LXDE (I was on LXDE when this happened, if that matters, but I don't think so). I was on Firefox and browsing some pages when this happened.

The journalctl might help you to understand (or see) something I cannot.  After some secs, I killed grub-mount (as you will notice in journal). Any other log or file to examine that could help , just tell me.

Best Regards
