Setup:
Windows 7 running Ubuntu-server via VMware Workstation. Ubuntu runs in terminal with byobu, and its sole purpose is to function as an internet crawler.
On occasion, I would get a message saying that the network adapter was reset. These don't have any other consequence, and I can continue using the VM normally. However, I also get another type of message:
task kworker/2:0:20 blocked for more than 120 seconds
...and then something about /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs
So, why are my processes getting blocked (what the hell does that even mean?), and how do I stop this? It's a major inconvenience to have to reset my VM 3 or more times in a day, and start everything back up again.
I should also mention that the ifconfig eth0 down method does not work, once this hung message comes up. Typing that in will only hang the terminal, and nothing happens, nor can I type anything else into that terminal.
