My /etc/default/rcS file has only this: TMPTIME=0 SULOGIN=no DELAYLOGIN=no #UTC=no # OBSOLETE; see /etc/adjtime and hwclock(8). VERBOSE=no FSCKFIX=no RAMRUN=no RAMLOCK=no ...don't see anywhere to explicitly disable tmpfs. The output of `mount` seems to indicate that only /run is mounted tmpfs. Also, I'm not on a particularly low memory system: % free -h total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2.9G 1.3G 1.6G 0B 21M 975M -/+ buffers/cache: 303M 2.6G Swap: 0B 0B 0B I'm running a stripped-down setup using Screen in a framebuffer console because that's what I've gotten used to over the years & I've optimized it to my needs. Typically this uses ~300-500MB of ram max. > Also check screen bug pages. Thare are may bug reported. > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=screen Didn't see anything on that page that might relate to this issue. I just now switched over to another framebuffer VT (not running Screen) and experienced the same 3-second freezes happening fairly regularly. I've also seen this behavior in an xterm. The only way I can get this freezing to stop is to get off battery power and plug into AC. Pretty sure this has to do with the hard-disk spinning continually. Maybe changing out the HD for a fast SSD would solve the problem while running on battery? Seems like there should be another way...
