Title:
  Laggy  Finally Completely Frozen 12.04.2 on Large cp or rsync

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have two pairs of raided disks.  I am trying to copy 1/2 T of data
  from one to the other.  First I tried cp /from /to.  It seemed to
  behave ok, so I left it overnight.  When I came back in the AM, the
  machine was completely frozen.  I had to use the power switch.  Only
  about 150GB had been copied.  I tried again with nice -n 10 cp ...
  and the same thing happened.  Then I discovered ionice and shifted to
  rsync.  So I used ionize -n 7 rsync -cva /from /to.  I also turned
  off the sleep/lock for the display.  Again it seemed to behave ok, so
  I left it while I went for dinner.  Two-three hours later, I found
  that all windows were frozen.  I couldn't use REISUB, the reset switch
  _or_ the power switch.  I had to power off using the switch on the
  power supply.  Rebooting, I found that about 300G had been copied by
  this point.  I am trying for the 4th time now, again using rsync.
  iotop is running.  It regularly freezes between rsync's copying one
  file and the next.  If I try to shift to a window or type at the
  terminal, there is a freeze until the file being copied by rsync is
  finished.  If I keep typing at the terminal (or in the text-box in
  Firefox, as I am now) then things become smooth until I stop for a
  bit.Then the freezing begins to happen again.  (That's not
  completely true.  Tab completion at the terminal is a disaster.  Cut 
  paste in this window is the same.)  It may be my fantasy, but it seems
  that if I keep using the machine, getting it to respond to
  keyboard/mouse intput, then it doesn't permanently freeze up.  It's
  when I leave to it's own devices for some time that I have a problem.

  The only difference between the last try and the first 3, is that
  after having a look at dmesg, I enabled IOMMU in the BIOS.  Probably
  irrelevant, but I did also notice the spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7
  message in dmesg that has been reported in bug #75626.

  I haven't changed anyting with the I/O scheduler, which has been
  reported as causing I/O problems in bug# 427210 and #131094.  So, it
  still reads: noop [deadline] cfq

2013-11-16 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
DiagonalArg, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not 
the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It 
will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've 
tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically 
you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the 
following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For 
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next 
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please 
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

2013-09-16 Thread DiagonalArg
Update:

With the newest BIOS installed in this adaptec TARO SATA card, 12.04
is improved to the point where ionice -n 7 rsync from to behaves
properly.  On the other hand, diff -qr from to (no ionice) crashes
_hard_.  (Had to turn off machine at the power supply, and couldn't get
the machine to post on reboot  without removing all drives and then
reattaching.)

I have also run mtest86+ for 24 hours with no sign of bad RAM.

This machine does not have access to the internet right now.  Until it
does, I will not be able to add more.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1217229] Re: Laggy Finally Completely Frozen 12.04.2 on Large cp or rsync

2013-09-11 Thread DiagonalArg
I was trying to copy my data again, to see if it would freeze while
copying, but I was finding the saucy nightly so buggy that after a bit
of work, all the windows would freeze (though the mouse would continue
to respond).

I'll look into what I can do with the mainline kernel, though I clearly
won't be able to introduce it into saucy.

  Laggy  Finally Completely Frozen 12.04.2 on Large cp or rsync

Bug description:
  I have two pairs of raided disks.  I am trying to copy 1/2 T of data
  from one to the other.  First I tried cp /from /to.  It seemed to
  behave ok, so I left it overnight.  When I came back in the AM, the
  machine was completely frozen.  I had to use the power switch.  Only
  about 150GB had been copied.  I tried again with nice -n 10 cp ...
  and the same thing happened.  Then I discovered ionice and shifted to
  rsync.  So I used ionize -n 7 rsync -cva /from /to.  I also turned
  off the sleep/lock for the display.  Again it seemed to behave ok, so
  I left it while I went for dinner.  Two-three hours later, I found
  that all windows were frozen.  I couldn't use REISUB, the reset switch
  _or_ the power switch.  I had to power off using the switch on the
  power supply.  Rebooting, I found that about 300G had been copied by
  this point.  I am trying for the 4th time now, again using rsync.
  iotop is running.  It regularly freezes between rsync's copying one
  file and the next.  If I try to shift to a window or type at the
  terminal, there is a freeze until the file being copied by rsync is
  finished.  If I keep typing at the terminal (or in the text-box in
  Firefox, as I am now) then things become smooth until I stop for a
  bit.Then the freezing begins to happen again.  (That's not
  completely true.  Tab completion at the terminal is a disaster.  Cut 
  paste in this window is the same.)  It may be my fantasy, but it seems
  that if I keep using the machine, getting it to respond to
  keyboard/mouse intput, then it doesn't permanently freeze up.  It's
  when I leave to it's own devices for some time that I have a problem.

  The only difference between the last try and the first 3, is that
  after having a look at dmesg, I enabled IOMMU in the BIOS.  Probably
  irrelevant, but I did also notice the spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7
  message in dmesg that has been reported in bug #75626.

  I haven't changed anyting with the I/O scheduler, which has been
  reported as causing I/O problems in bug# 427210 and #131094.  So, it

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1217229] Re: Laggy Finally Completely Frozen 12.04.2 on Large cp or rsync

2013-09-08 Thread DiagonalArg
I am still working on this, but may be struggling in addition, with another 
bug.  This new bug seems to have been noticed in other contexts, so I have 
reported it here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1011914/comments/21

In basic outline, I can boot my RAID/LUKS pair of disks, but when I also
attach the RAID pair of data disks, I get dropped into busybox.  A
Control-D produces stuff that looks like:

BUG: soft lockup - CUP#7 stuck for 23s! [kworker/7:0:469]
BUG: soft lockup - CUP#7 stuck for 22s! [kworker/7:0:469]
INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CUP { 7} (t=15000 jiffies)
INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks; { 7} (detected by 2, t=15004 
jiffies)
INFO: Stall ended before state dump start

More info at the above link.  I will also get your information from a
recent nightly, but right now I'm struggling with 3 failing machines  4
bugs.

I'l mention that as I'm working on this,  have upgraded the BIOS on the
TARO SATA controller so that it along with the system BIOS are the most
recent.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1217229] Re: Laggy Finally Completely Frozen 12.04.2 on Large cp or rsync

2013-08-27 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
DiagonalArg, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest
development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
could you please run the following command in the development release
from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will
automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report:

apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional 
upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, 
but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, 
please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is 
fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For 
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next 
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please 
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Laggy  Finally Completely Frozen 12.04.2 on Large cp or rsync

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have two pairs of raided disks.  I am trying to copy 1/2 T of data
  from one to the other.  First I tried cp /from /to.  It seemed to
  behave ok, so I left it overnight.  When I came back in the AM, the
  machine was completely frozen.  I had to use the power switch.  Only
  about 150GB had been copied.  I tried again with nice -n 10 cp ...
  and the same thing happened.  Then I discovered ionice and shifted to
  rsync.  So I used ionize -n 7 rsync -cva /from /to.  I also turned
  off the sleep/lock for the display.  Again it seemed to behave ok, so
  I left it while I went for dinner.  Two-three hours later, I found
  that all windows were frozen.  I couldn't use REISUB, the reset switch
  _or_ the power switch.  I had to power off using the switch on the
  power supply.  Rebooting, I found that about 300G had been copied by
  this point.  I am trying for the 4th time now, again using rsync.
  iotop is running.  It regularly freezes between rsync's copying one
  file and the next.  If I try to shift to a window or type at the
  terminal, there is a freeze until the file being copied by rsync is
  finished.  If I keep typing at the terminal (or in the text-box in
  Firefox, as I am now) then things become smooth until I stop for a
  bit.Then the freezing begins to happen again.  (That's not
  completely true.  Tab completion at the terminal is a disaster.  Cut 
  paste in this window is the same.)  It may be my fantasy, but it seems
  that if I keep using the machine, getting it to respond to
  keyboard/mouse intput, then it doesn't permanently freeze up.  It's
  when I leave to it's own devices for some time that I have a problem.

  The only difference between the last try and the first 3, is that
  after having a look at dmesg, I enabled IOMMU in the BIOS.  Probably
  irrelevant, but I did also notice the spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7
  message in dmesg that has been reported in bug #75626.

  I haven't changed anyting with the I/O scheduler, which has been
  reported as causing I/O problems in bug# 427210 and #131094.  So, it
  still reads: noop [deadline] cfq

  Tyan S3970 with 2 CPU's (8 cores).
  Two pairs of WD drives (500G  2T)
  TARO add-on storage card (used by the 2T drives)
  Ubuntu 12.04.3 fully updated.  
  Essentially new install (During this process I only added iotop, atop, htop, 
acpi, m5deep  emacs)

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1217229] Re: Laggy Finally Completely Frozen 12.04.2 on Large cp or rsync

2013-08-27 Thread DiagonalArg
During the copy of a large file, iotop starts producing:

TID   PRIO   USER   ...IO   COMMAND
446   be/3   root ...99.99 %   [jbd2/dm-0-8]

and

337   be/4   root...99.99% [md2_raid1]

dm-0 is the encryption of md2, which is the disk I'm copying to and on
which the system is located.

Also, while  a large file is being copied and things freeze up - even if
for 60-90 seconds - the screen starts to fade to half dark.  During that
time I can select windows but I can't type.

(I'l have to confirm that it's error-free, but I think I've got this 1/2
T.  Unfortunately, I've got another 1/2 T and I'm none too confident
about the stability of this system.)
