So nobody has any comment on USB drive causing the whole system to halt? Since the rsync was quite long and we've been having some power failures I put the external drives in the UPS and it had no failures over the weekend and finished fine. So the issue here is that is an external USB drive in UFS + Journaling fails the whole system crashes. I don't think this should be so and osmeone should look into that. Should I report a bug? Is there enough information to actually post a bug? Does anyone here feel this is a bug, or is it expected behaviour?

Hi all, I sent a question regarding a problem with USB and I get this in reply. Can someone explain?

I am rsyncing 500 MB from one usb drive to the other. If any of the drives should fail, the whole system hangs. For example, if there is a power glitch in one of the drives, the whole system hangs. As you may know, some of the external enclusores and/or power cables can get in the way and even the slightest movement can disturb the drive. What I don't understand is why does it have to hang the system?! Has anyone else experienced this? I mean I can understand that you may get corrupted data etc. but how is it possible for a failed write operation to hang the complete system!? Maybe this issue is only related to USB drives? Both drives are USB 2 and have UFS. Thanks beforehand for any feedback or ideas.
