I've been having the same problem as well for quite some time. I've tried ext3 and ext4. Both seem to have the same random freeze. I'm currently using the 64bit version, but I have a 32bit system at work that doesn't freeze at all. I also notice that my system only freezes after I've logged i

I have a Dell Inspiron Mini 10, Atom Z530, 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive, etc. Whenever I do large transfers from an external hard drive and sometimes --but not as often--whenever I download and install programs from Synaptic, my laptop freezes. It has probably froze more than 10 ten times. When it fr

I'm almost certain this is an ext4 issue. Recently, I was deleting my user account with about 50GB of music and videos before giving my laptop to my dad. My laptop completely froze while deleting everything probably 10 times. This happened whether I was deleting from a TTY or with Nautilus. I e

I also ran into the same issue. I was running Jaunty 64bit with ext4. I was copying a 4GB from an ntfs partition to my thumbdrive. After a few minutes the xfer rate slowed to the point where it just hanged. After I canceled the copying, I reformatted to ext3 and re-install jaunty (luckily it was

Correction on my last comment: the file I was transferring has been lost -- that's 180 MB of data loss due to this bug. The file was too new to even be backed up, so backups wouldn't have saved me. Does anyone know if this is a bug is limited to the Ubuntu family or is it Ext4 on all distros? I ha

I've had 6-7 freezes since upgrading from Ext3 to Ext4 about 24 hours ago. Prior to Ext4, I probably haven't had that many freezes in the past year or more. Freezes have taken place: 1. While watching a video with VLC. 2. While trying to open a torrent file with Ktorrent by clicking a link in Fir

In my case, Jaunty ALWAYS freezes when I copy large amount of data (>= 500 MB) TO a hard disk ntfs partition, and I've been trying to do this for the last two days, dozens of time. But when copying to my 8 GB usb flash drive (also ntfs), it works fine, as when copying FROM a ntfs partition. -- Ke

First of all, don't assign bugs to Mark, that's just rude. Second, the original bug report is about ext4, not X. It should not be assigned to xorg. Third, velroy and fixture, you guys are clearly experiencing a bug that has nothing to do with the original reporter's. As he has stated twice, his

Check this. I have to say, with this bug, Jaunty is not fit for release. I don't know how ubuntu managed to make the release progressively less stable. This thing worked better in Feb! also, Xubuntu test, same freeze. Problem is in the Xorg infrastructure and not Gnome/Xfce stacks. http://www.na

I installed ssh-server to get to the bottom of this. When the computer froze, I ssh'ed into it. Surprise! It worked. It turns out that this is not a kernel freeze. Mouse moves but Caps lock does not respond. In the ssh session, I went into top and htop. Nothing suspicious at all, in fact, there's

Same problem here. Thinkpad X61. Computer freezes during high disk activity. Though, it's probably not EXT4, because I had the same problem with a EXT3/Reiserfs setup. In fact, I did a clean ext4 install to test out my original theory of this being a reiserfs problem. Sometimes triggering a freeze
