For some reason on my system processes are not being closed properly and
with a couple hours of use I can see a couple instances of programs like
firefox that have not closed properly.
Screenshot: http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/68377035
Any advice on how I can figure out what is causing this?

Last time I saw “disk sleep” on several in the process list was when I had a slowly failing internal HDD, but also with temporary freezes. You could run /usr/sbin/smartctl to check for disk/disk controller errors.

You have to run the short and long tests, on both disks.

The SSD doesnt seem to support logging but I will run it for the Hard Drive. Will take ~2 hours though.

Try to run “ps afxu | less -S” and browse to the section about firefox.
It is possible that they are in fact the same one.
Paste that section back here so that we can see it.

Hi
Since your running an SSD with a rotating drive, what are your fstab options and also have you implemented any i/o scheduling.
Ah that might be why. /boot is on the ssd as are /home and /
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD103SJ_S246J9EB917733-part2 swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=8800f2e9-409b-4faf-944c-fc13e0c5571d / btrfs defaults,discard 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-KINGSTON_SH103S3120G_50026B722A0480DC-part1 /boot ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/system/home /home ext4 defaults,discard 1 2
/dev/sda1 /home/gum/Files btrfs defaults 1 2
/dev/sda3 /home/gum/VM ext4 defaults 1 2
I dont think I changed any settings wrt i/o scheduling.

Ah. I missed that it was an SSD.

No problem. You can continue working with the machine, but it will then
take longer to finish.

Hi
Some anecdotal stuff which may be of interest?

And this one about the scheduling

This may not be related to your issue, however worth a read.
Can you also show the output from the mount command to see what mount options are being used for the ‘default’
Will give those links a read.

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-KINGSTON_SH103S3120G_50026B722A0480DC-part1 /boot ext4,noatime,discard acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/system/home /home ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 1 2
/dev/sda1 /home/gum/Files btrfs defaults 1 2
/dev/sda3 /home/gum/VM ext4 defaults 1 2
And mount:
/dev/mapper/system-root on / type btrfs (rw,noatime,ssd,discard,space_cache)
/dev/sdb1 on /boot type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/mapper/system-home on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime,discard,data=ordered)
/dev/sda3 on /home/gum/VM type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sda1 on /home/gum/Files type btrfs (rw,relatime,space_cache)
Lets see if it does anything.
Hi
Why not make /dev/sda1 the same as /?

sdb is the ssd which is where / is located. sda is just some files on a
normal drive. I figured noatime and discard are not needed for sda.
Should I change it?

Hi
Ahh, my bad, then any of the partitions on the ssd can have the discard, not much writing to /boot, but I guess wouldn’t hurt?
What about the command;
snapper list
I wind my /etc/snapper/configs/root to only have 4 number, 4 hourly, 2 daily and 1 monthly and yearly.
