Public bug reported: The system become unresponsive during disk access. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 on a ThinkPad lenovo E540.
The steps I use to reproduce this bug is: - install `stress` package - stress the disk (# stress -d 2 --timeout 20s) - during the stress test the system hangs while accessing disk from another process (even ls hangs waiting the stress timeout) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic 3.13.0-44.73 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-44.73-generic 3.13.11-ckt12 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-44-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.6 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: alepac 2907 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: alepac 2907 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Jan 28 09:52:50 2015 EcryptfsInUse: Yes HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=18d574ae-5963-4128-ac7d-93e85043999e InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-08-25 (155 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) MachineType: LENOVO 20C6003QIX ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-44-generic root=UUID=abc61567-9159-409e-becf-f1db0b9bfd8d ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.13.0-44-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.13.0-44-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127.11 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) WifiSyslog: Jan 28 08:44:21 alepac-lenovo kernel: [ 847.480724] warning: `VirtualBox' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use) Jan 28 09:53:06 alepac-lenovo kernel: [ 4975.967152] nouveau E[ PIBUS][0000:01:00.0] GPC0: 0x4188ac 0x00000001 (0x1e70822e) dmi.bios.date: 07/31/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: J9ET92WW (2.12 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 20C6003QIX dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: 0B98401 PRO dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrJ9ET92WW(2.12):bd07/31/2014:svnLENOVO:pn20C6003QIX:pvrThinkPadEdgeE540:rvnLENOVO:rn20C6003QIX:rvr0B98401PRO:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 20C6003QIX dmi.product.version: ThinkPad Edge E540 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415377 Title: system unresponsive during disk access To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1415377/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
