[Bug 574910] Re: High load averages on Lucid while idling

My latest on this is that I haven't really had a problem since my last
post here. Eric's suggestion to add an explicit XFS unfreeze after my
regular snapshots may have fixed some of my load spike / lockup
problems, even though it happened once soon after I added the unfreeze
(as per my post above) it hasn't happened since. In fact, my only
problem with my main instance in us-east-1 was when AWS had network
hardware problems a couple of weeks ago which I initially thought might
be due to this load spike issue until I saw the status reports for AWS
that corresponded with my instance problems.

I'm using John's test kernel still with my Lucid instance, so it's
booted up with aki-84b75ded (32-bit, see above in Scott's post). But I'm
wondering, did the changes in this kernel make it into the standard
Canonical Lucid images for EC2? i.e. from your post 12 hours ago Scott
re updating UCE/EC2 images: http://uec-
images.ubuntu.com/server/releases/lucid/release-20100923/ if we use
those images or the AKIs associated with them would we have John's
kernel patch for the sustained high load averages bug?
