Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp
Version: 2.6.15-8
Severity: important
I am seeing occasional overnight system hangs. At least one has been caused
by the following kernel problem (syslog entry follows)...

The problem seems to have occured during the file copy phase of an "rsnapshot"
run (which happens every night). During this phase, a recursive "cp -l"
command is used on a very large directory tree (to create a copy tree of
files hardlinked to the original tree).
>From other logs, it appears that there may have been a simultaneous "ls -R"
command being run in another process, although this may not be relevant.
Note that this is a dual-core AMD64 system running an SMP kernel so maybe this
could be a locking problem. I have not been able to find any similar report
in the Debian bugs system or reported in LKML.
