This occurs during heavy io to the disk, to nfs mounts and USB disks and devices. It usually manifests during bulk copy and backup operations and sometimes while SuSEconfig runs after an update or install. When this occurs, system load goes up, slowly at first but accelerating over time and the shells hang on all external commands. No errors are reported, but the copy, backup or SuSEconfig seems hang or run endlessly. There appears to be blocking of io and several daemons going on that I can't trace back and cannot log because io is apparently blocked. The only solution is hold the power button down and turn it off. I had a problem earlier after installing 12.1 with disks seeking like mad that killed two disks. I used a third disk, did not use swap encryption and immediately updated, which seems to have helped reduce problems. The new disk is silent so I can't hear how much seeking is going on. I suspect this present problem is related. If it is a hardware issue, it is a most odd one that requires OpenSuSE 12.1 to manifest. It will not occur at any other time. Any sensible ideas?
