Hi List, I have encountered this issue several times now. I can't be sure, which job actually freezes the system, a good runner up is updatedb, though I have a feeling that somethi9ng ran after that one. updatedb (mlocate) definitely eats a lot of system resources, eventhough it only concentrates on my internal sata disk with ext3/ext4 only filesystems. The last entries in the journal are related to the update of the mandb. The issue in question doesn't arise every day, thus it may be a service run weekly - or even more infrequently - or some other interaction of my own causes these freezes. I don't always work on my computer around midnight. Can anyone help or guide me in further research, please? Best wishes, Jeanette -------- When you need someone, you just turn around and I will be there <3
