After I start qBittorrent, the whole system halts

I have a strange issue with qBittorrent. After I start qBittorrent, the whole system halts: first, my network and Bluetooth die, and after a while, everything becomes unresponsive

Here is my setup:

The things I have tried so far are:

  1. Recompiling all packages listed by pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.11/.
  2. Reverting to qBittorrent version 4.6.4-1. Unfortunately, neither of these steps helped.

Hi, I might have an idea or two, but could you please post the full output of inxi -zv8? That will provide more to go on.

The symptoms suggest it may be filling up the RAM, Cache etc…

To check if this is indeed the case:

watch -n5 free -h

(Adjust the value to whatever you like, it’s in seconds).

Cheers!

Note: bear in mind it’s been many years since I used torrent programs.

It definitely doesn’t max out resources. I checked that. My first concern was that something might be wrong with the SSD. I have widgets for the CPU, RAM, disk read/write, and temperatures, and everything is normal until the entire Linux system hangs. After that, it just freezes. I waited for 20-25 minutes, and there was no change for better or worse.

Thanks for the extra info.

Where are partial files being stored? If in /home this may well be the issue, if you have a lot of transfers:

Maybe try

watch -n5 df -h /home

whilst it’s running (change /home to wherever you have set for partials).

the torrent is placed here:

ID-2: /Storage raw-size: 850 GiB size: 850 GiB (100.00%)
    used: 777.47 GiB (91.5%) fs: ntfs block-size: 4096 B dev: /dev/sda1
    maj-min: 8:1 label: Storage uuid: 4F19F76649053C07

and it is 2.9 Gb
even if it writes something partially in /home it should have space :slight_smile:

Worth a thought.

Another one: htop will show processes hogging the system.

System python is 3.12 - so I don’t understand why you need do so if your system is up-to-date.

I’d suggest you throttle your respective qtbittorrent speeds and greatly lessen both the amount of concurrent torrents allowed, and the amount of peers that can access them.

It’s all in the configuration.

Keeping your qbittorrent download destination directory on an NTFS filesystem (in a Linux environment) is not a wise choice. I suppose you might be sharing the directory with an instance of qtbittorrent on Windows (if you are multibooting) – this too is not wise.

Consider running chkdsk from within a Windows environment to check for possible filesystem corruption; this could certainly cause all kinds of undesired issues.

Additionally, the volume in question is over-utilised – generally, 75% utilisation is the recommended maximum for any partition, regardless of filesystem, to maintain smooth operation – yours is 91.5%.

Your /home is also overutilised at 97.71% – With respect to your assumption of not maxing out your resources, I call B.S., obviously resources are indeed strained.

All this, I might add, with no swap space defined at all:


So, to be clear:

  • Run chkdsk on the NTFS filesystem from within a Windows environment.
  • Relocate your torrent destination directory to a partition with a native Linux filesystem.
  • Create swap space (partition or file) for your system – recommended size equal to your RAM, if you desire to use hibernation or half the size of your RAM, without hibernation.
  • Throttle your qtbittorrent speeds and peer allowances.

Cheers.

Hello, I raised the topic because these issues occurred two days after the last major update. I’ve been using Manjaro since 2020 on the same machine with the same configuration, and until now, I haven’t had such a problem. You can assume which updates have occurred since then; I’ve had issues with video, WiFi, and Bluetooth, but not exactly this.

Regarding disks, I don’t agree with the exact percentage for smooth operation because I don’t think it’s practical to upgrade the disk or delete things every time you exceed 75-80% of free capacity. I’ve used disks with as little as 1 GB free and haven’t had a problem.

What is your advice on using a shared disk between Windows and Linux? Why wouldn’t it be advisable to download things directly to NTFS? I’ve been using Linux for over 12 years and have always dual-booted due to needing some Windows software, and I’ve never had any issues with it. I haven’t familiarized myself with the pros and cons and would appreciate it if you could explain them to me or direct me to where this is described.

By the way, in the torrent client, there’s only one torrent loaded for download, so I’ll try limiting it as you suggested and transfer enough space to test, but I’m inclined to believe this won’t solve the problem.

Also, regarding swap, as far as I know, it is not necessary if there is enough RAM and an SSD. Could you provide some guidance on this as well?

I’d say that is pushing your storage device - to it’s limits …

A little swap is always better than none - if you run out of memory due to a RAM consuming process - you better have swap …

It’s possible (likely, in my opinion) that any (or all) of the points made may have contributed to your issue.

Whether or not you agree is of no consequence. Even as a computer user the recommended utilisation amount is been something I have been aware of for some thirty years, if not more.

The 75% I mentioned was a generalism. You referred to a 75%-80% range, which is in fact the range usually suggested, and this suggests to me that you are already aware of it, and simply wish to dismiss the idea because it’s inconvenient.

It’s your computer, and that’s your choice.

I also multiboot Linux and Windows – along with BSD and MacOS, in some cases – and have done so long before UEFI became a thing.

There is no suggestion not to have a shared partition between Linux and Windows, simply for transferring files between one and the other; as long as that partition is not the Windows system drive (C:), of course.

Using NTFS for the purpose is fine if one accepts the ongoing maintenance requirements of the proprietary filesystem, though EXFAT is often suggested as an alternative due to it’s relatively uncomplicated demeanor. Linux filesystem drivers for NTFS, however, are reverse-engineered and should be considered beta quality, at best.

M$ released EXFAT to open-source (in 2019) and since then it is fast becoming the defacto standard for USB drives, due to its relatively low overhead and not being subject to the file size limitation inherent in FAT32 (the filesystem EXFAT was originally based on).

Which of these to use? It seems there are many opinions. I use NTFS for the purpose, as I’m aware of its limitations in a Linux environment, and take preventative measures to mimimise issues resulting from its use. NTFS is also my preference due to it being a journaled filesystem which allows the potential for file recovery (in a Windows environment), wherease EXFAT does not.

Again, it comes down to user choice, and acceptance that sooner or later issues will raise their ugly heads when using a foreign file system in Linux.

While I do not intend performing research for you, the following article might be of some, at least, related interest:

Did you try checking the NTFS partition for consistency using chkdsk as previously suggested (in Windows)?

As a possible contributor to the problem, no, it likely will not solve it directly; however, limiting peers should help at some level.

Yes, that is often the narrative I’ve also seen in random forum posts since the introduction of SSD as a viable storage alternative. At face value the argument is sound; until it isn’t.

When running comparatively low on storage and general system resources, which can happen without you necessarily being aware of it, virtual memory may need to be used. In Linux, that is a swap file or partition. If you don’t have this configured, and it suddenly becomes needed, your system may crash; or come to a halt.

You requested information about swap space:

Of course, you need sufficient storage space for swap to be effective, even if it’s a dynamic file and not a dedicated partition; which brings me back to:

Looking at your general disk allocation, and practice of over-utilising the storage capacities you have, I suggest that more storage space, and/or moving infrequently used (particularly large) files to removable storage, might well be beneficial.

While these observations may not directly solve the immediate issue, they may certainly help. I hope you draw something useful from them.

Cheers.

You go to the doctor because you have a problem.

But buying sweet candies at the pharmacy instead of the (perhaps bitter) medicine certainly doesn’t help to solve the problem.

I don’t think this topic is for doctors and candies… :frowning:

I freed up space in the NTFS partition to 213 GB - 75% is currently occupied. I did a disk check, both under Windows and Linux with ntfsfix. I reactivated a 2GB swap partition, which I had previously used experimentally. I limited the torrent download speed and freed up 11 GB in my /home partition. Unfortunately, none of these measures helped, and the situation is the same - when I start qBittorrent, the whole system freezes within 3-5 seconds.

I did a full RAM check, which also came out clean; therefore, I have no bad sectors or disk problems, and I have no issues with RAM. I already have the free GBs you mentioned. I’m looking for some other bold but sensible suggestions to resolve the problem.

Just a couple of suggestions that I haven’t yet seen mentioned in this thread:

  1. Have you run qbittorrent from a terminal, instead of the application menu? The terminal may display useful error messages before your system problems occur.

  2. Do you have logging enabled in qBittorrent? If so, the log(s) should be stored in ~/.local/share/qBittorrent/logs/. Inspecting them may be helpful to ascertain if the problem is qBittorrent-related, or if it is more of a system problem.

qBittorrent logging can be switched on via qBittorrent’s “View” menu.

Edit: If logging isn’t available from the View menu, then you may need to open qBittorrent’s preferences window. You will find the option to switch on logging in the “Behaviour” section. You might also want to tick the “Log performance warnings” box:

Just looking at that screenshot too, I wonder if the Power Management choices might be affecting your system. If the “Inhibit system sleep” boxes are not ticked on your installation, could your system be trying to suspend/hibernate while torrents are running, and that be causing problems?

I (and others) will recommend never to use ntfsfix on a Windows filesystem; not because it’s particularly harmful, but because it fails to run the full gamut of tests and repairs required to properly fix an NTFS filesystem – only chkdsk can do this reliably – use the right tool for the job.

I presume you also defragmented the filesystem after that, right? Just because you use NTFS in Linux doesn’t negate the need for that. This wasn’t mentioned previously, as it should have been part of your regular maintenance anyway.

I notice you haven’t relocated the destination target of qtbittorrent to a native Linux partition. You could try that (if only for the sake of testing) and move it back later. Actually, I’d suggest copying the directory (and adjusting your qbit configuration) instead, as it’s only a few GB’s.

If issues with RAM, or BIOS misconfiguration, I dare say, you would be experiencing many more issues across the board, so that seemed unlikely.

Are you aware that the default chkdsk scan/repair does not actually check for (or repair) bad sectors (no, ntfsfix does not, either)?

To enable that level of repair with chkdsk, a deeper scan must be used – there are specific parameters for this – See the link given earlier (that you seemingly haven’t bothered to look at yet) for a link to the respective M$ site for guidance.

:warning: Checking/repairing bad sectors with chkdsk can take an extremely long time to complete (possibly days); once started, the process should not be terminated, otherwise, the risk of further damage (data loss) is high.

How have you modified the respective qbittorrent settings if:

… Did you modify the configuration file directly?

Try this;
rename the qbit configuration directory, and try starting qbit again:

mv ~/.config/qBittorrent ~/.config/qBittorrent-old

I’d suggest changing the setting that starts downloading automatically.

@van_rea What torrent are you downloading? And exactly where are you downloading it to?

I ask because I’ve seen a whole bunch of weird corner cases where there are some quirks in Linux’s NTFS support. In particular, creating or reading long paths, paths with special characters (esp. those which are normally valid in Linux filesystems but not Windows), and reading/writing certain NTFS objects found in a Windows User Profile can cause Linux to hard crash.

I’m providing a little update since I’ve been quite busy these days and didn’t have time to test things out.

  1. I moved the config folder - mv ~/.config/qBittorrent ~/.config/qBittorrent-old and tried again, but unfortunately, it didn’t work.
  2. I tried running the torrent on an ext4 partition, and it froze again after it started downloading.
  3. I checked the settings and enabled “Log performance warnings,” while the options for “Inhibit system sleep” were already disabled.
  4. To colleague @dgdg - I download torrents from an NTFS disk, which I use, although I rarely use Windows, maybe once a month. I’ve never had a problem with this until now. The path has no specific name or symbols. I’ve always used torrents since I’ve been using a computer, and I’ve never had such an issue. That’s why I’m seeking help.
  5. After all these tests, I did the update from 29-07-2024 today and repeated the same steps with moving and settings, but again without success. There’s nothing useful or any form of error in the log file. When I start it through the console, nothing comes up there either. What I found out is that if it’s paused, it doesn’t break. So, the problem is in the downloading itself. I also want to note that NTFS and ext4 are on different physical drives, so logically, it wouldn’t make sense to suspect the drives anymore :slight_smile:

Well, this seems like it’s more complicated than first thought…

One thing that might be worth doing is trying to disable CPU#6; that’s the one that’s got some problems in the log you posted. Maybe it’s possible that the CPU is slightly dodgy somehow? Especially if lines mentioning CPU#6 appear in other logs.

In any case, maybe try running echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu6/online to see if turning off CPU#6 makes a difference? Can’t say I think it’s too likely, but it’s worth a shot.

If the file was damaged due to a bad sector, just copying it to any other location won’t magically fix it, so yes, it still makes sense to check it.

I’ll make the assumption that you haven’t actually checked the NTFS filesytem for bad sectors; you haven’t responded at all to my previous comments on that topic.


I don’t suppose it has occurred to you to delete this file completely, and download it again. If there is an issue with the file itself, it matters not which filesystem it resides on.

Cheers.
