After some time, when copying lots of big files from my local computer to a shared network drive, my computer freezes completely. If I execute the "top" command I see how the longer the copying process lasts, the more CPU resources a process "kswapd0" use. The last time I tried, it passed only 5 minutes since the resource usage of "kswapd0" began to use all my CPU. I installed nautilus to check if this behavior also appeared (using other processes) but it has been copying non-stop smoothly for 2 days. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attach directly (not attached to other computer) a network drive using samba. 2. Move a folder plenty of big files (movies, for example) to the remote. 3. Keep track of the CPU usage. Actual Results: 100% of CPU usage. Expected Results: The files should be moved to the network folder and the unique resource intensively used should be networking.
kswapd0 is not a KDE application. It is a Linux kernel module responsible for managing swap space ; so unless you run out of memory I do not see why and how that process starts eating up all your CPU cycles. Is there sufficient memory on your machine ?
