[Bug 470456] New: hald started to suck up all available memory
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470456 Summary: hald started to suck up all available memory Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Hotplug AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jnelson-suse@jamponi.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=268501) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=268501) screenshot1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5 I came back from a short absence to find my reasonable machine very sluggish. A quick trip to 'top' showed the cause and culprit - memory pressure induced by hald, which was at that point consuming some 1.4G of memory. Further investigation by our friends 'ps' and 'grep' showed many many many hal-related processes littering the process table. A call to 'killall -9' seemed to resolve the latter, while an 'rchal restart' served the former quite well. However, this should not have happened. Attached please find 2 (two) screenshots. Additionally, I shall paste below some lines from /var/log/messages: Jan 28 18:39:45 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:45 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:45 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Jan 28 18:39:46 worklaptop hald[2692]: forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sdb as enclosing drive was disconnected Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I trimmed the irrelevant parts from /var/log/messages. Everything before '======' and thousands of duplicate lines /at the end/.
Attaching lshal* files short.
I need those lines at the end to see where the loop is and which device and paths are affected. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
