I believe I still have this issue, Ubuntu 24.04 Intel i9 9900k default ubuntu 6.11 kernel or tkg BORE kernel main install is on a 500m/s 1tb SSD, other drives are regular WD 1tb HDD's
issue existed on different hardware (i7 4790k) and multiple different kernels, and different versions of ubuntu for at least 1+year now. I agree with everyone else here, but here are my symptoms: Steam downloads at full speed (500mb/s) lock up my system quite a lot (while its writing to disk) moving large videos/files around, same thing My main issue caused by this: Using the 3rd party application, gpu-screen-recorder, while recording or doing a "replay" of high-quality footage. Basically if a replay saved is over ~500mb (or multiple gigs) it is guaranteed to lock keyboard input to whatever game I'm playing or even crash it, in extreme cases also locking up my system or steam itself for more than a few moments. If I'm doing a constant recording there feels like a small delay to all keyboard inputs while playing (like the system is slightly stalling from the constant disk write) (this is also from my OS drive, to ANY hdd, main install or separate) I seriously believe that my problems are caused by this I/O problem, and I have no idea how to get to the bottom of it, plus I've tried everything here with no luck. (dirty ratios, swap off, zswap off, kernel startup commands etc) None of those things helped. I'm pretty sure this is already the general consensus, but if anyone wants to try for themself, just open two terminals. In one of them open top or htop, and in the other run something like: dd if=/dev/zero of=~/test_stress_output bs=1M count=10240 status=progress this just makes a 10gb dummy file. The moment the disk starts writing that file, in top you will see a temporary 100% cpu spike on one core/thread. I don't really have time to distro hop and test things but I am thinking this is 100% this bug, and an ubuntu only problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208993 Title: Ubuntu slows down and hangs while copying file from/to USB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1208993/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
