kjournald reasons for high usage
I'm trying to figure out why is kjournald going crazy on my machine. It's an 8-core box with loads of memory. It's got ~50% cpu load.
The iotop doesn't seem to point at any specific processes - some bursts of writes here and there (mostly cron…

Which kjournald process belongs to which filesystem?

kjournald and apache2 hang on xen vps
I have 2 low-traffic wordpress websites on a Debian 7 VPS (1G RAM, 1G SWAP, Dualcore 2.4GHz CPU). Between 5 and 10 days, kjournald hangs, the kernel reports and I/O error and the filesystem (ext3) goes to read-only and an inconsistent state. This…

Debian - kjournald eats up my CPU and shuts my web server
The kjournald process starts sometimes on my Debian web server.
When I run top, the kjournald process eats up 100% of the CPU utilization.
After an hour that the process runs, my web server (apache) does not respond anything to requests (my site is…
