Dmesg's panic reports often list kswap as the crashing process... whenever there is a crash report, of course.
The crashing happens when ripping three DVDs simultaneously, but it has so far not happened when ripping 2 simultaneously. The latest crash occurred after moving a number of files individually from one hard disk into the trash on KDE 4, in other words when disk use was high. I also managed to consistently crash the computer when running the "iozone" test in Phoronix Test Suite. Disabling swap space seemed to solve the problem for a few days but it is back. Attached is the dmesg from the last crash. Some programs became unresponsive, with more becoming unresponsive after a few more seconds. Pressing Control-Alt-Backspace froze the machine. ** Attachment added: "Latest dmesg report of crash" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21987272/dmesg-cpu61secs.log -- freeze after many hours up - kernel reports bug in blk-core.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
