Public bug reported:
The same issue occurred to me 3 times today in Ubuntu 13.10, under
different circumstances.
I was copying files in Nautilus from my internal HD to an external HD,
when after about one minute the whole system froze to the point that I
had to shut down my PC brutally using the power button.
Here are the details about the drives and partitions:
- Internal: 500 GB drive, 460 GB NTFS partition, distinct from my Ubuntu
partition
- External: 1 TB, one single NTFS partition
I've been using Ubuntu for just about 4 weeks, but before today I'd been
reading and writing from both drives involved without any issue. I was not able
to clearly identify the particular conditions that were causing the copy
operation to fail, as the circumstances varied:
- In one occurrence of the bug, I also had a second external HD (320 GB)
plugged in; however, when the problem reoccurred this was no longer the case.
- The folder I was trying to copy that first caused the issue was an SVN
repository (30 MB). However, I was subsequently able to copy it succesfully.
Besides, later on the issue occurred with a different folder containing photos
(12 GB).
