Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
I'm not sure when this began to happen, nor am I sure why, but I think it might have something to do with the fact that I am sharing (or at least attempting to) a swap partition amongst multiple Linux installs. The other Linux that I've booted on the same swap partition is 64 Studio, a Debian-based distro for multimedia/audio work (although, I don't know *for certain* that the swap was used by that install when I've booted it in the past).
I noticed this problem because my system was becoming unusable for significant periods of time when the number of applications loaded was large. It would generally continue to be unusable until I managed to get something closed or something crashed from the stress...
I didn't notice one possible peculiarity. The relevant /etc/fstab lines are:
# /dev/sda8
UUID=42213e8a-c79c-456a-9b9d-747c0dda500f none swap sw 0 0
While doing a "sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda8" yields no result at all:
chris@chris-desktop:~$ sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda8
chris@chris-desktop:~$
I don't know if this behavior is expected or not.
Bug 85386 could be the same, but I wanted to avoid cluttering up some bug reports in case they are separate. |

Bug 85386 and bug 66637 look as if they could be similar/same problem. Sorry for the duplicate report, if that's the case. |
