Bug#158667: bubblemon: New bubblemon causes excessive HDD activity
Package: bubblemon
Version: 1.2.6-0.1
Severity: normal
After upgrading from bubblemon 1.2.3 to the 1.2.6 release on restart of gnome,
post upgrade, hdd activity goes through the roof. And bubblemon and gnome
begin to slow. I left this for about 10mins, before removing it from the panel.No obvious idea to why. This was simple apt-get -u install bubblemon.
To show you what I mean. Here's gnome running with no bubblemon :
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %idle
1.50 97.00 1.00 0.50
Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn
dev8-0 12.50 0.00 168.00 0 336
dev8-1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0
Here's the same system after starting bubblemon :
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %idle
13.50 77.00 9.50 0.00
Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn
dev8-0 202.50 0.00 2372.00 0 4744
dev8-1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0
I am able to reproduce this on a 2nd machine (also running unstable/2.4.19).
Please advise,
Cheers Rich Wale.
