Summary: jbd2 writes on disk every few seconds
Product: File System
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.39.2 arch
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: ext4
AssignedTo: fs_ext4@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
ReportedBy: marcin2006@gmail.com
Regression: Yes
If I don't specify in /etc/fstab some large commit value, jbd2 is killing my
disk, I think even more frequently than default 5 seconds. Mount says:
/dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered)
In iotop jbd2 constantly appears on top and sysctl vm.block_dump=1, dmesg |
grep -e READ -e WRITE shows that jdb2 is writting on the disk every few seconds
and only jdb2. I have IBM ThinkPad x30 here, but simmilar thing happens on my
PC. I guess it should not write to disk if there isn't really anything to
write. It is impossible to spin-down the HDD.
I have a minimal archlinux system here with xfce, running from failsafe entry
from GRUB, while pursuing this problem I have killed X, killed all daemons,
swapoff, unloaded acpi modules, usb modules and other - nothing helps.
I'm not even sure what logs should I attach as people are complaining on
different configurations for a year, it's all there:
