The system doesn't totally hangup, just any process to do with the mounted
filesystem. I can't kill the process that is doing the copy. It is in a state
of D (waiting for I/O). I can bring up other windows/terminals and do other
stuff but anything to do with the usb-storage driver is hung up. Of course, I
can't remove the usb-storage module because it is in use but I can't kill the
process. I've left it for over an hour one time and it never came back.
Rebooting was the only way I could make it work again (until the next freeze).
By the way, I don't find the first copy operation takes very long at all.
