Any chance you can try a vanilla 2.6.28 kernel and see if you can reproduce the problem there? Other very interesting test points would be 2.6.28-rc5, and 2.6.28-rc7. Potential fixes that might have fixed this are: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=ba4439165f0f0d25b2fe065cf0c1ff8130b802eb and http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=7ce9d5d1f3c8736511daa413c64985a05b2feee3 The first patch, which I suspect is more likely the fix, was merged into 2.6.28.8 and 2.6.28-rc6. The second patch was merged into 2.6.28-rc8, and isn't yet in a 2.6.28.y series yet, although it is in the for_stable branch of the ext4 git tree. Hence it would be interesting to see if the problem is present in 2.6.28-rc5, and fixed in 2.6.28-rc6. (And thanks to whoever can do the test, since I haven't been able to figure out how to replicate it on my systems yet.) -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
