Update: I worked with upstream on a bunch of the patches for this issue and the good news is that we have two fixes that hit GregKH's stable 2.6.38.8 tree a few days ago:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.38.y.git;a=commit;h=2020aa625c559d371518040290b5476356e7aacf http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.38.y.git;a=commit;h=28663b64187171a869bf991b20e3dc24f88067d4 so hopefully these will be picked up on the Natty stable updates at some point in the future (a few weeks). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755066 Title: heavy i/o on sandybridge systems with small memory footprints causes system hangs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
