Hi All, Fedora 32 Xfce 4.14 Every so often, once every two weeks or so for no apparent reason or program, my computer slows down to about 1/5 speed. Typed letter take time to appear. File system stuff is five times slower: tar, dump, etc.. And I can't find anything wrong. iotop and top both show hardly anything happening. Here is a screenshot of atop: https://ibb.co/m8Gq1yQ I notice that when I am doing a tar or a dump, my hard drive light is on solid or constantly flashing. When the slow down occurs, it will stay off for a solid five seconds, the flash a little, and back off again. And the tar and dumps always come out okay. They just take five times longer. Any words of wisdom?
