Adding a link to linux-image as this does not just affect EC2. I have a decent number of HP ProLiant systems and about 90% are exhibiting the exact same problems. All of the systems affected have a load average between 0.7 and 1.1 just a short while after being rebooted, and are 100% idle. Additi

Load issue from #6 and #7 look like the same. Running ext3 on all(intrepid/karmic/lucid). We would most often see hangs and load shooting up, during code builds, but not always. Sometimes builds would proceed normally. Also random load/hang during normal non-busy server activity. My first thou

Matthew are the "mystery" disk io load you mention in #7 the same as you describe in #6? In #6 what else are you running on the machine? Do you have additional instances running. Another possibility is what filesystems are you using on the host and instance. In my initial round of testing this

I'm seeing something similar. We've migrated from Intrepid to Lucid instances, load averages for processes that were very low load under Intrepid are causing very high load(real load the system becomes unresponsive), on Lucid. The load spike are seemingly random, with no correlation to other acti

I have been able to replicate this, and actually watch the load averages fluctuate on an idle system. I have begun investigating and hope to have a solution soon. ** Changed in: linux-ec2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux-ec2 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In P

I closed the "Ubuntu on EC2" task here we are no longer using that project to track bugs. Instead, we're tracking issues on ec2 the same as other ubuntu bugs. The best way to open a bug is with 'ubuntu-bug' on the instance. That will set the appropriate flags and collect additional information a
