I'm sure that this is just one of the many ways to trigger this ext4 thing, still, interested me even if not the cause of the bug. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1196171&page=2 Found this thread which seems to be same issue. Appears that this is related to permission/ownership - so presumably you deleted read-only files. I can imagine that might happen if, for example, the files were copied off a CD and had default read-only permissions. I'm suprised nautilus doesn't handle this more gracefully. -- Soft lockups (freezes) when deleting files from ext4 partitions on 2.6.28 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330824 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
