Excessive IO usage (disk) #219

Open thephez opened 6 years ago

thephez commented 6 years ago

Expected behaviour

The process not thrash the hard drive :slightly_smiling_face:

Actual behaviour

Occasionally I notice a system slowdown and see my HD light on continuously. The culprit (found via iotop) is this daemon. Killing this process immediately stops my HD thrashing. I have let it run for multiple minutes before and it does not seem to reach a point where it self-resolves.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Unknown - seemingly random
