I started a long test on the hard drive:
smartctl -t long /dev/sda
smartctl -a /dev/sda also appears to indicate various errors (the

is attached). I'll trying to track down some documentation as to what
they're actually reporting.
Looking at the difference between the output of smartctl for before
and
during the test, there has been an increase in errors detected for ID
#195
Before test:
195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered 0x001a 001 001 000 Old_age
Always
- 241822
During test:
195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered 0x001a 001 001 000 Old_age
Always
- 243582
Could this be the cause of the stalls during compiles? If it is the
cause, is it possible for the kernel to detect such failures and
report
them?
These numbers are misleading. You might have a look at
