[Bug 420508] [NEW] nfs_getattr starvation with heavy NFS write activity
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image This is a known bug in kernels prior to 2.6.25 (not sure when it was introduced). If you have a long write task (such as a dd) to an NFS mount, an ls -l on the NFS mount won't complete until the write finishes. If you are copying a file that takes 20 minutes to complete, a simple ls -l will also take 20 minutes. A \ls (ls with no arguments) will work fine. This was fixed in a really tiny patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=28c494c5c8d425e15b7b82571e4df6d6bc34594d ** Affects: linux-ports-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nfs_getattr starvation with heavy NFS write activity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 362013] Re: kvm migration fails with large-memory VMs
I tried again to migrate with Hardy PPA KVM:84 and got a different oops. However, if I first stop the guest VM, and then migrate, it does work fine, and it's actually pretty quick, such that an ssh would see just a few seconds delay. So, offline migration does work, and isn't bad. I would love have live migration working properly, but the offline migration delay was brief enough that I'll probably cancel plans to experiment with Xen and just stick with KVM (the newer version in PPA). One thing I didn't like with the migration is that the migrated guest takes the full amount of RAM the guest was allocated, rather than just the RAM the guest was using prior to the migration. Good thing I already bought more RAM, although maybe there's something I can do with the new memory ballooning feature... -- kvm migration fails with large-memory VMs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 362013] Re: kvm migration fails with large-memory VMs
I just tried with the Hardy PPA KVM:84. It doesn't have this migration issue, and migration claims to go to completion, however: 1) The first time I tried migrating, after migration completed, the guest VM, also running Hardy, had done a fresh boot. 2) I tried migrating again, this time with a vncviewer attached to the destination. The vncviewer went away on migration completion, but when I started the vncviewer again, the guest VM, now on the destination, had panicked. See screenshot, attached, for what I was able to see of the kernel panic. PS A minor nuisance with KVM:84, as packaged: if you don't specify script= in your -net options, kvm looks for /etc/kvm-ifup, which does not exist, rather than /etc/kvm/kvm-ifup. ** Attachment added: Screenshot.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25513435/Screenshot.png -- kvm migration fails with large-memory VMs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 214130] Re: flashplugin-nonfree mismatch
Ditto, on Hardy Heron. The download site indicates a new version. This has been a frequent problem over the years, and I wish there was a more permanent solution for it. Ideally, Adobe would simply archive older versions, rather than always offering only the latest, without a way to download by version. Then the package would always work.

[Bug 152794] Re: nis daemon fails to attach to domain the first time it is run in Gutsy
I am seeing this issue on a fresh Hardy amd64 install. ypbind is actually failing to register with portmap, even though portmap started significantly earlier (nis startup is S18 in rc2, while portmap seems to be starting as S43 in rcS; curiously, portmap is also listed as S17 in rc2, but that's not what actually starts it). Other things started a little later (NFS) do register with portmap. However, if I add nis to rcS after portmap (S46), it works. It seems like something in-between is causing a temporary disruption (could be NetworkManager, although I have a static IP configured in /etc/network/interfaces). -- nis daemon fails to attach to domain the first time it is run in Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 210468] Re: try to access a .Trash-$USER directory on autofs mounts
I tried again today, with gvfs 0.2.2svn20080403-0ubuntu1. I found that the mount storm is currently pretty slow, but the gvfsd-trash processes seem to be accumulating endlessly. After ~45 minutes, it has mounted everything in our department, and I have over 3000 gvfsd-trash processes (and 1.1GB consumed on a freshly booted machine with a completely idle logged-in Gnome session). -- try to access a .Trash-$USER directory on autofs mounts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210468 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 210468] Re: try to access a .Trash-$USER directory on autofs mounts
Please also see duplicate bug #210586. gvfsd-trash continuously tries to access the automount points (and keeps spawning and spawning, although it does allow old processes to die before spawning more, so it doesn't consume all available memory). The result is that, as soon as someone logs in, the machine will automount every NFS filesystem in our department (~145, in our case) and keep the mounts active (some may expire, only to be remounted shortly thereafter). This results in a mount storm (in the past, on slower processors, such storms have rendered machines unusable for ~10-20 minutes in our environment), and it really defeats much of the purpose of automounting if all mounts are kept active. -- try to access a .Trash-$USER directory on autofs mounts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210468 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Perhaps gvfsd-trash should ignore autofs mounts?
