Definitely still a problem in kernel 2.6.37-12. Today the machine stalled twice as I was rsyncing some files from one partition to another.
The first time it lasted for about an hour, during which it was possible to type in commands, but it literally took an hour to log in and kill a few processes. The console was littered with messages about kworker- this-and-that being blocked for more than 120 seconds The second time it lasted for more than two hours before I pressed the reset button. It's wonderful to have some incentives to spend time away from the computer, of course, but more than three consecutive hours on a busy night is a bit much. As this seems to be a kernel bug, if not several, I'm going to assume it won't get fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582264 Title: lucid lynx going into disk activity frenzy, stalls for minutes -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
