The dmesg says: |[ 8235.110075] INFO: task stress-ng:9466 blocked for more than 122 seconds. which means stress-ng is blocked for quite some time due to I/O according to the backtrace. This appears once for each stress-ng process, 10 times in total. It does not repeat and the system runs at least until | [50733.471625] hid-generic 0003:03F0:7029.0004: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [iLO Virtual Keyboard] on usb-0000:01:00.4-1/input1 ~11h after that report. Based on that it looks like the system complained about slow I/O but did not hang as it completed its task. Sebastian
