I'm noticing the same behavior on Feisty "uname -a": Linux halorentz 2.6.20-16-server #2 SMP Sun Sep 23 19:57:25 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
"strace ps a" ends with: stat64("/proc/22177", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 open("/proc/22177/stat", O_RDONLY) = 6 read(6, "22177 (nbdswapd) S 5092 22177 22"..., 1023) = 198 close(6) = 0 open("/proc/22177/status", O_RDONLY) = 6 read(6, "Name:\tnbdswapd\nState:\tS (sleepin"..., 1023) = 631 close(6) = 0 open("/proc/22177/cmdline", O_RDONLY) = 6 read(6, "/bin/sh\0/usr/sbin/nbdswapd\0", 2047) = 27 close(6) = 0 stat64("/proc/22189", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 open("/proc/22189/stat", O_RDONLY) = 6 read(6, "22189 (Thunar) D 1 22128 22128 0"..., 1023) = 204 close(6) = 0 open("/proc/22189/status", O_RDONLY) = 6 read(6, "Name:\tThunar\nState:\tD (disk slee"..., 1023) = 640 close(6) = 0 open("/proc/22189/cmdline", O_RDONLY) = 6 read(6, whereupon it hangs. Other processes continue fine, I can login again after killing the terminal. I can run top, but if I hit "c" to show the full command lines then it hangs as well. There's nothing in dmesg or /var/log/syslog. The output of "strace cat /proc/22189/cmdline" is attached, note that it hangs at the end also. The machine is running as an ltsp server. /home is mounted over nfs. What other information can I provide? ** Attachment added: "strace_cat_proc_cmdline.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9946486/strace_cat_proc_cmdline.txt -- ps auxw hangs. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/13531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
