Ever since my recent dist-upgrade from Xubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 I have been having continual disk activity. Every 30 seconds or so the drive light comes on and stays on solid for about five seconds. The disk activity is so intense that other operations are hindered, even mouse movement is jerky.
I ran 'sudo iotop' and in the activity the Command column is filled with [jbd2/sdb2-8]. All I can tell you about that list of letters and numbers is that sdb2 is my /home partition. I've looked all over for an iotop translation guide to convert those numbers to something meaningful to humans, but I have failed. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome! _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
