Well, today on one of my machine here at home this issue is back: [616201.460064] INFO: task kswapd0:52 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

This was an extract job for a rather small archive (just ~ 400 MiB) from the NAS, to the NAS (I know this is bad practice). What also came up is that again KDE4 completely freezes, until the lock is released: [616201.460551] INFO: task plasma-desktop:7429 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

I wouldn't mind if the NFS transfer hangs for some time waiting for the target to complete some work but it just interferes any interaction with the machine so this is a real show-stopper. However, there was a difference how those NFS export got mounted. The machine that still is fine mounts like this: rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr,noatime ...and the machine that just showed this issue again mounts like: rw,hard,intr,noatime So I wouldn't expect that setting the sizes changes anything but please give it a try if you haven't done so before. -- Writing big files to NFS target causes system lock up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561210 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
