Package: base Severity: important
On higher IO load, for example by creating a new Xen VPS by issuing xen-create-image the system freezes and is totally responsive for a few seconds up to a minute. Even a ping to the server doesn't reply back but when finished the server is responsive again. Also I noticed when running applications which generate more IO such as a Java crawler the server hangs a big and ping to the server get quite slow although I am pinging from a LAN. Below is the full stack trace which got generated while issuing xen-create-image (extract from dmesg). [930756.024114] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!
