[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wanpeng Li <liwp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I use several dd processes to write a slow SD card
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdc4 bs=1M count=4000
and several sync commands(maybe > 10),dmesg show this:

[  366.888741] INFO: task sync:3518 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[  366.888742] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Too many similar messages flood the logs. So I use a present method to 
fix this issue.
