This issue stil affects me in Maverick Meerkat. uname -a returns the following: Linux big-iron 2.6.35-23-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 11:55:36 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The bug can be triggered by periods of relatively high disk activity, but it also seems to generate its own disk activity, and I've no idea what it's using the disk for. dmesg seems to indicate that there was an out of memory error at some point, but I'm not using swap, so it shouldn't involve the disk. This blog entry - http://billauer.co.il/blog/2010/10/disk-io-scheduler- load-dd-freeze-stall-hang/ - indicates that it could be a kernel bug, and so I'm going to put off investigating it further until I've been able to try that kernel (or have resolved it in some other way). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582264 Title: lucid lynx going into disk activity frenzy, stalls for minutes -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
