seems to hang on ubuntu 20.04 #12

Closed imavo closed 4 years ago

I ran v0.78 and v0.61 on ubuntu 20.04 lts as root ./bootinfoscript /tmp/bootinfo.log

v0.78 had in the temp directory file Trash that dmraid was missing so I installed dmraid.

I also needed to install gawk.

The script seems to hang shortly after starting, in the temp directory the file Log shows only the version/date and nothing afterwards.

The box has megaraid-sas with 4 SAS disks ( 2 are raid-1, other 2 are raid-0). There are no nvme drives. The box dual boots MS-Windows and Ubuntu 20.04.

Suggestions for troubleshooting?

Closing this , not an issue in bootinfoscript , possible firmware/controller issue.

Each time the bootinfoscript hung, I used control-C to exit.

Discovered several blkid processes owned by root seemed to be stuck , one per Control-C I used. Did not respond to kill -9.

Discovered that after reboot, the script ran to completion without errors or hang.

Seems that occasionally blkid will hang on this hardware only when used with no parameters (as in bootinfoscript). So possible hardware or firmware issue.

Closing.
