[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1852001] Re: KDE GUI freeze on high disk IO, but disabling swap fixes it

2019-12-11 Thread JPT
There is for sure a bug. As I said, I know how a system behaves that is suffering from too much swapping. My case is far worse. and still, about once a day the GUI is completely locked. this cannot be explained from swapping and cannot be solved by disabling swap. I think the only kernel yet th

I'm not really sure this is a bug. It sounds like expected behaviour: 1. Disk gets thrashed. 2. Any processes relying on memory swapping to/from that disk get delayed. No particular process is doing anything wrong. Just if you want to avoid that situation then maybe don't configure swap on such a
