Hi List, |
| 2 |
I have a very strange thing here. I don't know when this started, but my |
| 3 |
feeling is, that it was around kernel 2.6.15 and it's getting worse with each |
| 4 |
version. |
| 5 |
From time to time my system comes to a complete halt, that means not a single |
| 6 |
application shows any response to mouse and/or keyactions, sshing into it |
| 7 |
takes forever. After a while (up to ~30s ) normal reaction is back again. |
| 8 |
Strange thing is, there is no activity at the times this happens. Reading |
| 9 |
email and browsing the web is all that is needed. CPU is at 3-5% according to |
| 10 |
top, mem has ~1GB free according to free. |
| 11 |
I can somehow force this behaviour by doing some harddisc io, eg untaring a |
| 12 |
kernel-tarball. But it does not happen everytime I do this. |
| 13 |
This is really, really annoying. I have no idea, if this is a kernel, a FS or |
| 14 |
any other issue. Any help with this is most welcome. |
| 15 |
Some additional info: fs is xfs, kernel is 2.6.19-gentoo-r4 and I'm a |
| 16 |
KDE-User, but this also happens with xfce4 ;) |
