Constant hard drive writes? (8 to 15MB/s)

[Ninemeister]

Has anyone else noticed a constant 8 to 15MB/s write interval when Liquidctl is installed?

I went back and fourth between removing and installing the Liquidctl plugin and when it's removed drive activity goes to near zero. Install it and activity jumps back to ~11MB/s.

With today's NVMe drives 11MB/s is not much at all, but after a week of just idling that would add up to 6.65 Terabytes of writes! Is this constant write activity normal?
