[Bug 597512] Re: gnome-settings manager freezes system on login
I finally managed to attach strace before it stopped screwing up the system and it's just repeatedly calling lstat() on thousands and thousands of thumbnail files. That's clearly a dumb thing to be doing but I'm still surprised that it's so insanely slow as I'd expect the directory information to be fairly small and cached pretty quickly. I don't know whether lstat() itself has any performance issues which would make it this slow. Maybe it's having to read information which isn't stored in the directory structure and thereby having to do tens of thousands of single block reads? Oh, hang on: I'm using ecryptfs for my home directory. I wonder if it's some interaction between a poorly thought out directory scan and extra overhead due to ecryptfs? -- gnome-settings manager freezes system on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I do apparently have over 15,000 thumbnails, so that could be the issue. -- gnome-settings manager freezes system on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 597512] [NEW] gnome-settings manager freezes system on login
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon When I first logged in, I started up firefox and it began loading the pages from the previous session, then froze. I could see the CPU usage was well over 50%, but looking in top no process was using more than 2%; instead, I was seeing about 75% I/O wait. Checking iotop, I could see gnome-settings-daemon reading around 2MB/second for at least 30 seconds, while no other process was accessing the disk. So it must be responsible for blowing all my CPU time on I/O waits. I don't even know what this program does, but this has happened fairly often on logins since installing Lucid and it makes the experience almost as bad as logging into Windows; my CentOS machine, for example, is usable about ten seconds after I log in.
