I just wanted to say that I agree

Oops. Sorry, I'm very new to this bug list, I committed before I should have.

I just wanted to say that I agree with you Theodore. Going into single user
mode helps. In fact just killing off my daemons (syslog-ng, cron and so on)
along with X was enough. I didn't have to go to single user mode.

Journal tracepoint patch

The following patch should help people figure out which process is responsible
for starting an jbd2 transaction handle.   After applying the patch, enable it
via:

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/ext4/ext4_journal_start/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/jbd2/jbd2_run_stats/enable
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe

... and wait.

(All of this assumes you have ftrace enabled, of course).
