https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25832 --- Comment #19 from Theodore Tso <tytso@xxxxxxx> 2011-02-06 04:26:25 --- Hmm.... what if you only remove one drive while suspended? Can you try removing each of the drives as separate experiments, and see if you can narrow it down to a single drive that seems to cause the problem when it is removed? And then can you see how that drive is being used (if it is being used at all)? If the system is mostly quiet, then presumably it would die immediately on resume, but when the system actually tried to access the file system. So if we can narrow it down to a single file system, and then figure out which processes had files opened on that file system, maybe that would give us a clue. You said, "paging request error" --- were you running programs off of any of the external drives? What programs if any were accessing the drive? I'll note that I've tried some simple experiments with removing a quiescent USB drive from my system while it was suspended, and I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. I have often forgotten to unmount a hot-swapping AHCI attached hot-swappable SATA drive in my Ultrabay slot which is idle while suspending, and it's never caused a hang on resume. It gets a new sdN drive letter on resume, so all of the file system mounts are invalidated, but I've never gotten a crash when that happens --- and I've been using 2.6.37 on my laptop almost ever since it has been released. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
