All I have to do is start something like KDE that seems to leave sector 
as inactive memory. You can start another process such as update the 
locate database. You can watch inactive memory start to be freed up in 
top and boom!!. One time, I did 2 locate updates and nothing happened. 
So, I did a startx and boom!.

The block is always the same 567360. On my system it is on ad0s3e 
(/var). It is random as far as when it happens but you can make it 
happen in 3 or 4 minutes.
