Today, the disk and file manager are behaving as if there is no problem. I was able to do all of the operations I am used to. I think that this bug can be closed or transfered to an open question about finding processes that hog the disk, for it appears that the much improved performance is due to some process that was hanging on the device that died or was killed by a different process that used the disk.
In Solaris there used to be a command, fson, that showed all processes with command name and owner, that are using a disk device. I haven't found the same command here, and top(1) hasn't helped. Even longer ago there was one of the *stat commands, it might have been systat or netstat that could tell you which processes were using a disk. I think that there is a process deadlock or contention issue, but it is at the system level and sudo with commands ought to be able to diagnose and resolve it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709935 Title: File MGR is very slow on any type fs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
