Hi
I discovered that on my Thinkpad T400 WC... with 4 gig ram and 250 gig
hdd. hal is bothering my hdd so often that i can't work any more. All
gets choppy.
There are 2 times when this happen:
1: after 2 or 3 hours of normal work like internet, video, stuff like
that
2: when i play Command and Conquer Generals with wine.
So when i boot my laptop and start playing all is fine for 1 hour or so
than it began to choppy. When i then restart command and conquer is is
again all fine for 5 minutes or so than it starts again to be choppy.
So with wine the effect happens faster. I don't play other things with
wine but i think it would be the same with other games/programs.
With iotop i recognised that hal is the problem because it queries the
hdd all the time
The command : hal-acl-tool --reconfigure
is executed by root all the time and so my hdd is spinning and i can't
do anything else.
The cpu and ram are not the problem, they are in minimum or medium load
When i try to execute the hal-acl-tool command manually i get:
r...@think:/home/manuel# /usr/lib/hal/hal-acl-tool --reconfigure
8259: attempting to get lock on /var/run/hald/acl-list
****************************************************
8259: got lock on /var/run/hald/acl-list
8259: reconfiguring all ACL's
8259: Cannot connect to hald: (null): (null)
****************************************************
8259: releasing lock on /var/run/hald/acl-list
r...@think:/home/manuel#
So it could be possible that the root command gets the same error and
tries it again and again.
Attached you find the iotop log of the 5 minutes good and then coppy
cause.
Thanks
