Computer Freezes While Creating File System

MikeDacre · 2014-08-15 01:00:09

Hi All,

I have been running Arch on my machine for a year now, and in that time I have not once had a kernel panic or any other kind of crash. In the last two weeks, I have had several.

It seems to happen when I am interacting with USB drives, particularly with rapid writes or file system creation. The issue coincides approximately with my installation of Paragon's ufsd kernel modifications for interacting with NTFS and HFS+ file systems, however I believe I have completely uninstalled those components since then.

Here is an image of my most recent crash:

When this message appeared my computer froze - completely unresponsive, not even the mouse would move, and Ctrl+Alt+Del did nothing. Only a hard restart worked.

I should also note I have been having odd issues with udev recently - USB3 drives not mounting, encrypted file systems not mounting, etc. I have posted other threads to that effect (e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=185619)

Any ideas would be very appreciated, this is a big problem.

Thanks!

I am unfamiliar with the way ufsd modifications are installed. Did you compile a custom kernel? In any case, is there any improvement if you temporarily switch to the LTS kernel? This may help to rule out potential hardware issues.

No, there was no custom compilation of the kernel, just compilation of modules that I then added to the kernel with modprobe. My understanding of kernel modules is that once they are deleted they are gone right?

Also, this problem hasn't happened again recently, it only happened while trying to access damaged drives, specifically while using mkfs, or with very large tar operations (I use tar to copy files to the disk as it is the fastest).

I have returned those disks and so it hasn't happened since, but it is still very concerning that a failed operation on an external disk would cause a kernel panic.

which kernel version are you using ?

3.16.x ?

I don't know if it's related but I notice since kernel 3.16.x that I have problems with ntfs mounted partitions and virtualbox, if the virtual machine is located in ntfs partition then I get freezes and sometimes kernel panic in host if heavy I/O ( read/writes ) are made to the ntfs partition,

the virtual machine suddenly can't do read/write on ntfs partition, that's why a freeze or kernel panic occurs, I think sometimes kernel 3.16.x for an unknown reason can lost the connection with the partition, which leads to a freeze or a kernel panic,

look the kernel messages in journalctl :

# journalctl -n 20000 _TRANSPORT=kernel > kernel_bugs.log

if you find some "kernel trace" it would be interesting to post here the results

Right now I am on linux 3.15.8-1, although I am upgrading as I write this.

I ran the command you suggested, you can see the log here:
