Created attachment 95344 requested diagnostics for a bug report I'm dealing with problem that in some cases, randomly, udisks-daemon can take 100% of one CPU core and stops only when I kill it. I must admit also that my system battery is below 3V and I haven't changed it yet so there can be some connection. I also found here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6472936.html#6472936 that it can be a problem with locale. There is a post which suggests that the problem occurs when user is not having quote mark at the first line of the locale: [root@linux mk]# locale LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 << missing "quote" mark LC_CTYPE="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="pl_PL.UTF-8" [...] Messages which appeared in journalctl when udisks-daemon hanged up: lut 18 09:30:51 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** Refreshing ATA SMART data for /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda lut 18 09:30:52 linux udisks-daemon[301]: helper(pid 1868): launched job udisks-helper-ata-smart-collect on /dev/sda lut 18 09:30:52 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** Refreshing ATA SMART data for /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb lut 18 09:30:52 linux udisks-daemon[301]: helper(pid 1869): launched job udisks-helper-ata-smart-collect on /dev/sdb lut 18 09:30:52 linux udisks-daemon[301]: helper(pid 1868): completed with exit code 0 lut 18 09:30:52 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** EMITTING CHANGED for /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda I mounted and unmnounted /dev/sdb thinking this could cause the problem: lut 18 09:35:14 linux su[2030]: (to root) mk on pts/0 lut 18 09:35:14 linux su[2030]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user root by mk(uid=1000) lut 18 09:35:20 linux kernel: XFS (sdb5): Mounting Filesystem lut 18 09:35:20 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** /proc/self/mountinfo changed lut 18 09:35:20 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** MOUNTED /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb5 lut 18 09:35:20 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** CHANGING /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb5 lut 18 09:35:20 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** UPDATING /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb5 lut 18 09:35:20 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** EMITTING CHANGED for /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb5 lut 18 09:35:20 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** CHANGED /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb5 lut 18 09:35:20 linux kernel: XFS (sdb5): Ending clean mount Then I killed udisks-daemon: lut 18 09:35:27 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** /proc/self/mountinfo changed lut 18 09:35:27 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** UNMOUNTED /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb5 lut 18 09:35:27 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** CHANGING /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb5 lut 18 09:35:27 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** UPDATING /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb5 lut 18 09:35:27 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** EMITTING CHANGED for /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb5 lut 18 09:35:27 linux udisks-daemon[301]: **** CHANGED /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/ata3/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb5 lut 18 09:35:27 linux org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor[407]: ### debug: emit_signal: 0x1447470 lut 18 09:35:27 linux org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor[407]: ### debug: emit_signal: 0x149b0f0 lut 18 09:35:27 linux org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor[407]: ### debug: emit_signal: 0x149b0f0 Steps to reproduce: Unknown.
