You should post the exact command sequence you are using.
In general, wcreate does not access a disk for anything. However,
wcreate is not normally in memory so if you issue a wcreate command,
wcreate must be loaded from a disk.
Try loading wcreate before issuing any wcreate commands and see if you
still get disk activity.
