#3727 closed bug (fixed)

System gurus under heavy load

Reported by: haiqu Owned by: nobody
Priority: normal Milestone: R1
Component: System/Kernel Version: R1/pre-alpha1
Keywords: Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: x86

Description

During a large copy between drives - copying the whole source tree to a flash stick - the system periodically gurus for periods of 30 seconds, during which time the gui interface is non-responsive. Hard disk activity stops, CPU activity is low and there appears to be nothing happening. I have turned off the virtual memory, which was causing disk thrashing and making the system CPU-bound, so this isn't the cause.

Gigabyte 7IXE4 with Duron 800, 640Mb memory.

Only just noticed that when this happens the seconds on the clock actually stop counting. There was a jump from .23 to .59 that showed the clock was still running but Tracker wasn't being updated. Maybe this can help locate the bug.

Still an issue?

That computer is in storage 1800km from here so I can't test it, but I certainly haven't seen the issue on modern hardware.
