Hello Junjiro, I may be experiencing a deadlock issue with AUFS. I'm running Slax with root filesystem on aufs, which consists of one writable branch (tmpfs) and many readonly squashfs loop-mounted branches.
I'm experiencing deadlock in KDE after adding a branch to aufs. The main KDE processes (knotify4, plasma-desktop, krunner) are in D state (uninterruptible sleep) and KDE freezes. The rest of the system is usable, but if I try "find /root" it freezes on /root/.kde/share/config (that is a directory full of different configuration files, KDE writes to it very often and probably has some files open from there too) I also tried lsof | grep share/config and it produced strange output: plasma-de 2189 root 16w REG 0,15 25 11354 /root/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc.lock find 2524 root 4r unknown /root/.kde/share/config (deleted) (stat: Stale NFS file handle) Notice in the second line that it claims the directory 'config' is deleted, which is not true, I can 'stat' it. What more info should I provide in order for you to debug this?
