michisteiner, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update to your BIOS is available (2.58). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: trusty ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Tags removed: bios-outdated-2.57 ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.58 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290337 Title: [Lenovo ThinkPad W530] I/O slow down Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since at least 12.10, symptoms are that as time goes by I/O gets slower and slower (primarily if not even only writes rather than reads). It can be temporarily cured via /sbin/sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=2 and/or /sbin/sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3 but the problem will re-appear again sooner rather than later. The problem seems also somewhat proportional on how much RAM is allocated. It does not seem to appear with less than 8GB (i.e., i saw it first when switching to a 16GB laptop/ThinkPad w530) and is considerably worse when allowing all memory compared to, e.g., by using only ~14GB using the mem=14000M boot option.
