Hi Randal, Are you sure that you wanted to address me related to /var? I have not mentioned it.
My suggestion was related to mounted storage. I have experienced similar sounding stalls when my external network attached storage array comes out of suspend and I have to wait for the disks to spin up before the system starts responding. USB or SATA storage could cause same unresponsiveness when coming from suspend as well as saturating a storage link, be it network, usb, SATA. - Tomas On Sat, Nov 2, 2024, 23:06 American Citizen <[email protected]> wrote: > Tomas: > > I did a fairly good look into the /var folder. > > I don't see anything much from either the dmesg log or journalctl.log > > My system is still going into paralysis mode.
