worth checking core dumps. I had to disable core dumping completely over a month ago. On 26 November 2016 at 20:37, Michael Ströder wrote:

HI!

On one laptop (of half a dozen) I've configured with Tumbleweed the system is hanging during shutdown, some process is massively accessing the hard-disk.

Any hint where to search for this issue?

Ciao, Michael.

How did you disable core dumps?

What I've found with a quick search:

edit /etc/security/limits.conf

set ulimit

fs.suid_dumpable = 0 in /etc/sysctl.conf

Storage=none in /etc/systemd/coredump.conf

Ciao, Michael.

from my not so organised notes: /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ [i think this is where they get dumped so check here first] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Core_dump i notice the arch page gives several methods, i assume only I modified /etc/systemd/coredump.conf.d/custom.conf from section "using systemd" I now note this problem was actually 3 months ago, so there is a chance this should have already been solved. (but still a strong suspect for heavy disk access on shutdown). I simply disabled since shutdown debugging is difficult and investigations pointed at a know systemd issue likely to be resolved in time.

I came across the following advice some time ago. It works. --------- # recipe for coredumps touch /etc/tmpfiles.d/custom.conf # Manual setting for coredumps: (From yesterday is enough for me). d /var/lib/systemd/coredump 0755 root root 1d -------- cu Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

any feedback on problem/cause/solution?

none at all on my computer. I'm just a user, coredumps are of no use for me. cu Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The misbehaving laptop is not mine. So it will take a couple of days until I get access to it again. Ciao, Michael.

FYI, tidying my notes i found i also set "export KDE_DEBUG=1" in .bashrc to disable DrConky, cannot remember now if this was first attempt or is required.

Thanks for your additional information. I'll check but AFAIK there's not even KDE installed. XFCE is used instead. Ciao, Michael.
