@jsalisbury: On this setup, there were seemingly similar freezes before Precise (I was using Lucid until then), but being so far apart and without a reliable recipe for reproducing, I mostly just ignored the issue. To give a clue as to the rarity, an (again seemingly) similar freeze happened just now, for the first time since I reported the bug, so if it's the same issue, it's been in hiding for over a month.
Unfortunately the logs didn't have anything about this crash, and I couldn't ssh in either. As I have yet to gather any substantial data apart from the little I posted above, there's no way of knowing whether it's always been the same issue or not. The symptom on the surface has always been very similar, but I guess that's true for most freezes are even if brought on by unrelated causes. I'm not afraid of testing the mainline kernel per se, but I'm hesitant because with this occurence rate, wouldn't I be trying to prove a negative? Would 2 months without the issue constitute a 'kernel-fixed- upstream'? 6 months? Also, should I install v3.3-rc2-precise as you suggested, or the more recent 3.3-rc4-precise now? If the more recent one, should I then stick to it, or keep upgrading as new mainline kernels are built? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917668 Title: system freeze ("hard LOCKUP"), warn_slowpath_common+0x7f in sock_aio_read To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/917668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
