Hi Ryan,
I'm wondering if your situation might be similar to
mine but you've certainly checked more possible
troublespots than I did, I just got lucky with the
timing of my request ;-)
I was experiencing what I thought were lockups when
deleting recorded programs, either through the
interface or via MythWeb. Turns out it wasn't a
lockup (although the interface and/or Mythweb became
frozen, and puTTY'ing in did not work). The freeze
was temporary (lasting a few to several minutes) and
related to deleting *large* files from my ext3
filesystem. As far as I can tell, it's been remedied
by switching to XFS for my program storage drive (only
five days of testing so far).
Just a thought, not *entirely* your situation but
close enough that I thought I'd post. If your
curious, you can search for my threads from the past
week and change.
Best,
Steve

I think you had a different issue. I am using reiserfs like the original poster (I like to be able to resize lvms down), and I see a delete pause of 1-2 seconds, no lockups or anything.
However, I can induce a hard lockup on my box very easily. If I run a very data intensive process I _will_ get a hard lockup. I have moved commercial detection to my slave backend beacuse every 2-3 months I will get a hard lockup if I have a lot of commercial detection jobs running. Transcoding also causes issues. Of course I have an nforce2 chipset and I believe that it is the root of the problem. The only solace I can give you is that I have managed to configure my box to have really good uptime by keeping the large intensive jobs on the slave.
