I changed the scheduler to from 'cfq' to 'deadline' and I increased to commit times. That seems to have solved the problem for me as today the system did not slow down to almost freeze anymore with the same load.
To me it somehow still is a bug as I think an OS is not supposed to slow down that much, no matter what, without clear indication what is going on and without means to analyze or stop or reboot or whatever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764180 Title: System slows down to almost freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1764180/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
