https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42895 --- Comment #13 from Eugene <ivanovstm2@xxxxxxxx> 2012-05-16 16:34:39 --- Thanks, now it works. Traced system for around 10mins and I don't see previously unseen processes. Just normal system activity. But there was a number of hdd writes (around 6 in 10mins) which doesn't have corresponding entries in trace results and separated from entries by roughly 30sec (flush?) - that's not including 1-2 writes closely following (~3-5sec) almost each entry (jbd2?). http://paste.ubuntu.com/990927/ Can I trace some function which gives output in trace results when actual write takes place but shows initial cause of the write (not just flush or jbd2)? Like block_dump but more informative? If it's not possible then for now I'm going to presume that it's just the way how system works. But still it's lots of flushes/jbd2 following writes of even small files: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/101378473/15mins_almost_idle.txt For example in above block_dump Network Manager's "timestamps" file is 4910 bytes long and followed by ~20 writes by jbd2 and then by 10 flushes. Or xfconfd's "xfce4-panel.xml" is 9467 bytes long and followed by 8 writes by jbd2 and then by 20 flushes all around the disk. Is it normal? -- 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
