Hi, I experiment a soft lockup. during 20 s I have no mouse, could not switch back to console and so on. I achieve to get a backtrace by echo 15 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs Seems file system related (hdd led is on). My filesystems are ext4 over raid0 so add some cc How can I debug ? It seems related to fsync but not sure why it should lockup my box.Look like firefox is the source of fsync. Get some bugreport about this on: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/510656 I see a thread "Excessive stall times on ext4 in 3.9-rc2" and question about "Question about ext4 excessive stall time" that this bug was worked arround for 3.10 but it seems it is not the case if it is the same bug.
