Slow HDD + 12Gb RAM = system crash - stop0x0000000a - 06-28-2015

Hello,

I've got a bunch of old HDDs – ATA/SATA, 80-512 GB, Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung – a small zoo Wink
Gigabyte P43T + E8400 + 12GB -  that's desktop the only one with IDE port nearby.

So I tried to do some cleaning = moving tons of files from one HDD to another + zip some directories.
And 2.2 started to crash, even no mouse movement.
It could work for 10 minutes or died almost immediately – unpredictable.

Tried acpi=off, noapic, nolapic & etc with no success.


In the end I've found out this article:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/107703/why-is-my-pc-freezing-while-im-copying-a-file-to-a-pendrive

Seems lot of RAM + slow HDD is a common bug.

Code:
echo $((16*1024*1024)) > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes
echo $((48*1024*1024)) > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes
to rc.local fixed that.

Just type it here in case anybody else rush into.

Weird, when i type this in a terminal i get an access denied error by bash. Why is that?

per the op...
You will need to add them to your rc.local file
Code:
gksu leafpad /etc/rc.local
and insert them just above the exit 0
