This thread is sounding suspiciously similar to my drive failure Thursday, following a YOU last weekend. See my thread "ata2 suddenly bad". I mean the randomly "sluggish" aka "lock-up" syndrome. I have since installed an EIDE drive with fresh install of "boxed 10.3", reloaded all my original apps, and have done a new YOU (with the same kernel version as last week). So far...28 hrs and counting...all is fabulous. I can't add anything else, except that there have been several weird threads this week about similar "stall" symptoms...one re oocalc, mine, yours, and a couple others. I had thought mine was due to Beagle, or perhaps because it was an "upgrade" from 10.2. Then I lost both /sda8 and /sdb2...something is amiss somewhere. Or not...I might have had a failing SATA drive...I am currently not using any of /sdb partitions.
