Hi,
I noticed two facts which can be related to this bug.
* First, few time after kernel upgrade to 2.6.32-24, I got some programs
freezing and leading the computer to be unusable. I mean, there was not
complete freeze: ie. mouse cursor, time and window moves still worked, but
majority of running apps (firefox, chrome, transmissionBT, nautilus, etc.) were
freezing and turned grey, while trying to open other apps was not possible.
Even log in tty1 failed: prompt never came after login. Elsewhere, network
activity was stopping immediately when the bug occurred. Concerning the CPU
usage, it was not at max, about 10-30%, nothing extraordinary.
Taking a look at system-monitor (which had not frozen, as I remember) showed
that status of processes which had frozen were tagged as "ininterruptible". I
discover that jdb2 was also tagged "ininterruptible", I don't know why, but
kernel.log showed following entry several times about 17 seconds after boot
(cf. dmesg or syslog):
"JBD: barrier-based sync failed on md0-8 - disabling barriers"
* In addition, I noticed this bug appeared equally after copying huge
data in my /home partition making it full at 95% (with less than 5% free
space), I don't know if this is linked, because since I have deleted
these files and made /home partition less loaded, the freezes did not
reappear...
I have tried to use current mainline-kernel: 2.6.35-999-generic, but the
behaviour was identical, so I came back to stable kernel (as you can see
in log files). The only fact I noticed that resolved the problem was
making free space available in my /home partition as said above. For
testing, I have tried to make this partition full at 99%, but the
computer is ON since 1h40 now, but nothing to report currently...
Attached files show several "cut here" statements in syslog, 8/10 concerns:
"last sysfs file:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:06.0/0000:02:00.0/net/eth0/statistics/collisions"
The 2 other are related to:
"last sysfs file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq"
Hope that helps.
ps: I will attach complete syslog of the day, from kernel upgrade to
resolved problem...
