Periodically I notice my system slows to a near stand still, and the
hard drive light is constantly going. This seems to be a massive amount
of disk i/o and it lasts for a long time (lets say 30 mins to put a
number on it). I installed and ran iotop (`iotop -a`) and it seems to
point to jbd2. From what I can see jbd2 is related to ext4 journaling,
but I cannot figure out how to kill this operation. It might even be a
red herring because I have also stopped the disk activity by kill either
chromium or firefox. I need to understand what else I can do to
troubleshoot this.
