PlatformVMware ESXi, 7.0.1OSAlmaLinux 8.6OS Version4.18.0-372.19.1
Summary0000293: receiving /proc/sys/kernel/hung message OS locks up
DescriptionWe recently provisioned a number of AlmaLinux 8.6 servers in our VMware virtual environment and after a number of days the servers start hanging an throw the message:
Not tainted 4.18.0-372.16.1.e18_6.x86_64 #1
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
INFO: task pool: 22704 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Once the message appears the servers become unresponsive and we have to power cycle to bring them back online. These are servers provisioned in our VMware ESXi, 7.0.1 environment and have not seen this issue with any of our other Linux based servers.

We have upgraded the servers to 4.18.0-372.19.1 but the issue is still happening. We can not determine the exact time frame when the issues happens but it appears most lock up within the next few days to weeks.

I found this post https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?t=79275 and the issue we are having is very similar. The issue seems to appear when updates for kernel 4.18.0-32.19 are installed.

Solution:

There was a EXT4 hard disk mounted to the server with an external /Home2 partition which was rather slow and messing up the DirectAdmin (control panel) quota and Brute force monitor.
Or the disk had an hardware failure.
Disk and partition removed and server is running as it should
