workstation has become ill
I've been running F32 on a shiny new amd dual epyc workstation for
about 1 year. The system is now remote to me and not convenient to
access.
About 1 week ago the system became unresponsive. I noticed errors
logged about I/O errors, so I guessed it was an issue with the SSD. I
went there and replaced the SSD with a shiny new samsung 1tb.
Reinstalled F33 and got my vpns going so I could access again from
home.
But things are acting very strangely. Install was lightning fast.
But after a while the machine becomes unusable. Any command takes
minutes to react. I am unable to reboot it. sudo reboot after a very
long time does nothing.
I don't see anything interesting in /var/log/messages (I installed rsyslog).
When I can eventually get top to run, I see systemd is in D state.
There is plenty of free memory, and the machine has 64GB.
I'm going to visit again and this time yank out the nvidia gpu. This
is just a wild guess based on 1) it isn't critical for use right now
2) it places a load on the power supply just in case that's the issue
3) it's the only thing I can think to try.
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this.
