[Bug 15372] Re: Huge hard drive activity after resuming from S3 suspend on a IBM x31

[stricjux]

I'd like to confirm that this bug is still very present for me - it was present in 10.11 and now in 11.04. On resume on suspend disk starts to heavily read from the hard drive. Two things to note:
1. This doesn't occur on every resume, but it does occur more often if I use the laptop for some time.
2. When it does it heavily reads from the hard drive for 3-30min. I usually get bored with the waiting and simply force shutdown the computer (using the 5s hold of the power button).

I tried following this tread, but no apparent fixes were provided for me
to try out.

Title:
  Huge hard drive activity after resuming from S3 suspend on a IBM x31

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in “acpi-support” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With a default install of ubuntu hoary after turning on acpi suspend support
  resuming from S3 causes huge problems. After the machine resumes (the suspending
  seems to go fine) there is a huge amount of hard drive activity, many
  application refuse to start (such as top and ls) and the machine tends to freeze
  completely if I try to open the applications menu. Changing any of the options
  in /etc/default/acpi-support has no effect and neither does bypassing the
  scripts in /etc/acpi by echoing mem to /sys/acpi/state manually. I've also tried
  turning off laptop-mode. I've just come
  from debian unstable to ubuntu and the debian kernels 2.6.9, 2.6.10 and 2.6.11
  did not have this problem. I'm going to try a vanilla kernel from kernel.org to
  see if that has any effect. I managed to get top running after resuming by
  starting before I suspended but it didn't really show anything unusual though dd
  was running and i'm not sure why. My id in the hardware database is:
  45d24e53319bdba4f4ae97805a39a254

  
  From comment below (in Ubuntu Dapper):
  I've tested suspend on dapper today. Now X starts and i get back to my desktop but the hard drive still goes crazy. I've tested suspending on a console to see what dmesg had to say after i tried to use ls. The following message is shown 4 times:

  hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
  hda: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=7292699, sector=72926983
  ide: failed opcode was: unknown

  then the following is shown:

  hda: DMA disabled
  ide0: reset: success

  then the following is repeated endlessly:

  hda: task_out_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
  hda: task_out_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=7292699, sector=72926983
  ide: failed opcode was: unknown
