Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
Installed Jaunty yesterday. AMD 64 dual core. Experienced several
freezes with applications attempting file dialogs.
This morning, found one cause. An application had finished an operation
on a USB mass storage device, which I then removed from the system.
Subsequent attempts with other applications to use file dialogs caused
applications to freeze. System Monitor showed that hald was occupying
virtually 100% of the CPU on one core. Use of the other core allowed
other applications and the desktop to continue limited operation.
On inspection of logs:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kern log, many instances of:
Apr 25 10:30:46 mikehome kernel: [ 2982.467307] FAT: Directory bread(block
8216) failed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
daemon.log, many instances of
Apr 25 11:07:27 mikehome last message repeated 2080 times
(with different counts) following a message:
Apr 25 10:30:41 mikehome hald[2850]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount
/dev/sdc as enclosing drive was disconnected
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
syslog: combination of the two.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This continued even after the application(s) which had connected to the
USB device were closed.
Nautilus may be involved. (ver 2.26.2) - on restarting Nautilus, the USB
device mount points were visible in the navigation bar with "Unmount" as
a right-click option. Attempting to unmount these gave an error dialog
"Unable to mount..." with the message: "DBus error
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message
bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the
network connection was broken."
