[Bug 595047] Re: massive i/o renders the system unusable

[Pete Goodall]

I have reproduced the bug using the mainline kernel.  I installed linux-
image-2.6.35-999-generic from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/daily/current/, and rebooted running that kernel.  I was
running Chromium, Xchat and Banshee w/ no problem, so I decided to try
to stress the system a bit more.  I started Tomboy and opened one of my
notes with no problem.  I opened Nautilus and the system started
swapping.  I tried to get a vmstat by ssh'ing into the system, but by
the time I was able to login the swapping had subsided.  It started
again and I ran vmstat to collect some stats.  Don't know if this is
useful, but will attach it.
