[SOLVED] Extracting >100GB archive over night resulted in unresponsive system (mouse & kb, screen stuck)

tuxducky · 12-04-2021, 05:41 AM

Hey I tried to extract a >100GB archive on a different hard drive over night by using pv file.tar.gz | tar xzf -
sadly now, turning on my screen I can't move the mouse, the keyboard is dead and the screen / progress bar is stuck in the middle, the time doesn't move. Apparently it got stuck at 03:20 am.
Before I turn my screen off last night, I disabled any energy savings options in the settings.

What are ny options here? I accept that the operation failed and I have to restart the system, the problem is that I am worried about a forceful restart while the hard drive is writing/reading etc...

How can I restart the system without damaging the drive? (or keep the damage as little as possible)

Distro: Debian 11 Bullseye, installed nvidia drivers 460, 16GB RAM

REISUB (magic SysRq key)

Sometimes, already after Alt+PrtScn+R you'll be able to Ctrl+Alt+F3.

Thanks, I read up on REISUB, REISOU a couple month ago already. It's nice to see things you learn out of interest, pop up from time to time

Sadly Reisob and other key combinations don't do anything at all. My mouse light is turned on / lit though (<- Unresponsive, as a matter of fact, the cursor vanished entirely)

You have to cycle the power. Run smartctl to check the drive. This sounds like failing hardware.

Thank you very much, I am running chkdsk Letter: /f right now inside Windows 10 as debian won't mount.

I was fearing hardware failure for some time now as the drive has fallen down (from lower than ½knee height) twice over the span of a year (stupid irrelevant incidents, drive is permanently placed now).

Smart util from WD showed no issues and predicted green/good health. That was a long time ago, I will try smartctl on deb and report back.
Thanks again for helping.

According to debians kde-partiton tool's smart-status function, it seems like the drive is in a very healthy condition:

I'm inclined to agree. It shouldn't just stop like that.

Can you ssh in?

This isn't an out of space issue? Does tar put it somewhere temporarily and that has run out of space?

I don't think so. After I restarted the computer, the drive still had 350GB left (and a new folder with a gigantic amount of extracted files was created, meaning the operation did stop @ 3:00am. It probably was a genuine system freeze.

tuxducky - post the smartctl output using code tags (see the list of BB codes under "Posting Rules").

If the drive is okay, you need to check the rest of the computer. It should not lock up under load.

Here's the short self-test (I used gsmartcontrol since my debian 11, can't run/find the smartctl command (smartmontools pre-installed).

If you need me to perform a different test just let me know.

Will the extended self-test contain any information about my files on the drive etc?
If not, I would be happy to provide an extended self-test for better examination.

I would say that the drive looks good. I have not tried to run the self-test. Be careful not to destroy your data.

You may want to run the "badblocks" read test (note that it will never report errors since modern drives reallocate bad sectors).

A lot of things can cause a computer to lock up. Check the system logs for anything unusual. Run memtest86 to check the memory. Clean out any dust, especially on the heatsinks.

Run a system monitoring type of software (System Monitor, htop, etc) while running these tests. If your computer has temperature sensors, add that in the system monitoring software. Watch your swap. Under-voltage is something else to look at, too.

Try decompressing a smaller file (1GB, 10GB, etc) and see what happens. Try running the tar command without the pv command.

Try running Prime95 and see if it locks up your computer.

Now that you say Under-Voltage, my RAM requires a voltage of 1.35V, yet my mainboard provides only 1.2V or something. So I had to overclock / use xmp profile 1 to get a working setup.

Could that be the culprit?
Do note, that I've already done lots of heavy tasks for months now on this new setup. Tested Games, machine learning, etc. No issus (runs faster in fact due to higher frequency)

I will try Memtest86 and Prime95 by the end of the day.

If you have set any voltages within bios to different than default there is a distinct possibility that it can cause system instability, sometimes in weird or unexpected ways. Maybe consider removing the user settings and allowing the default bios configs to take over then trying the exercise with extracting the file again. It might show if it was your custom settings or not.

On my system (desktop with AsRock B550 Pro mobo and AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU) I see about 10 different voltages that can be managed, and some are used for overclocking.
