Hi,
My RH6.0 system has developed a serious fault.
At any time in X, the machine can launch into an intense state of disk activity. The keyboard virtually hangs - with a typo delay of maybe 30 seconds per character!
A hard reboot is the only exit.
The hang can happen at any time. I've left the machine with a few Xclients running, returned a few hours later to find everything has ground to a halt, except the disk activity.
Could a defrag or some other similar drive maintenance be running as a timed process?
Is there any way I can identify what exactly is happening? I can't access another run level so can't see how else I can examine what's going on.
There's nothing obviously wrong with any single X client as it can happen with any (I haven't actually noticed it happening with none though)
Anyone experienced similar?
