>From Agent N20's comments above, it appears that the freezing occurs where ext3 partitions were converted to ext4 partitions. I have 3 converted ext4 partitions and one fresh/new one. Will try and test that theory a little tonight. To the other reporters: were your ext4 partitions new or converte

Forgot to mention that the freezing didn't happen ALL the time with the ext4 deletes.

Alarming frequency of kernel freezes when working with directories that have lots of tiny files: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/subversion/+bug/342164. That bug reporter's system froze, was hard reset, ext4 had not written the newest file to disk. Question: what is causing all these

I had experienced the same, and reported it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/334581. I have had to hard reset my computer four times today. The circumstances were the same all 4 times: I was copying large directories between different ext4 partitions (using nautilus) when the system locke

I have exactly the same problem with 2.6.28-8.26. The problem started to appear only recently (2-4 days ago). The problem manifests only when deleting files - it never triggers when adding files. The problem occurs regardless of X running. Interesting is that the problem occurs on 32bit kernel only
