Public bug reported: I received a brand new workstation (Dell Optiplex 960 with dual 360 gig HDs running on an onboard RAID controller) and installed Jaunty x64 on it last week using the alternate CD. Since that time I have experienced random freezes of my machine. It appears to be an issue with the built- in isw RAID. The machine doesn't totally lock up (I can move the mouse, access menus, etc.), but anything related to hard drive activity completely stops. I have noticed this in Firefox, Thunderbird, and Eclipse. Compiz will grey the windows indicating they are not responding and they will not take keystrokes. Typing "ls" at a command prompt will just sit there. After a period of time (usually several minutes) the machine will resume as if nothing happened. I checked my log files and cannot find anything logged when this happens.
It is not an issue of memory, the machine has 8 gig on board and only about a third in use most of the time. I have not found a consistent pattern to cause the issue. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ISW RAID freezes for minutes at a time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
