@Christopher, sorry this is my main computer, so i cannot re-install from scratch (also wouldn't really have the time for this and also lack a separate disk). I assume, just running with old kernels probably won't work given that they are reasonably old? (otherwise, can you point me to a kernel package).
BTW: if there is any good tool for kernel-state diagnostics or alike, i gladly would investigate what exactly is causing the slow-down when it happens, but right now i don't really know where to look at (i looked at and played around with obvious sysctl parameters, looked at slaptop, iotop, iostat etc but couldn't get any insights. Maybe something dtrace- like such as systemtap could give further insights but i would still need some starting points on where in kernel code/data-structures i might look best. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290337 Title: [Lenovo ThinkPad W530] I/O slow down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1290337/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
