This may need to fall under another bug report: Today I booted into recovery mode to recover some data from a failed drive, then resumed the normal boot into a console. I then moved a large number of files from one drive to another. During the transfer I thought that the system was acting sluggish so I switched to console 2 and started htop. Htop showed that all of my memory (4g) was in use and my swap was pretty much full (994/996M.)
using df I saw that /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs was listed so apparently ureadahead was profiling my actions while in single user mode. Maybe ureadahead should not run in single mode. -- ureadahead doesn't free memory after profile https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501715 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
