I had experienced this problem (system becomes hardlocked during heavy network transfer) on Toshiba Satellite L4 laptop in Jaunty and Karmic. Later it turned out there was a hardware fault in one of on-board inverters. Just have my motherboard replaced and the issue disappeared completely! No more system hardlocks, neither error messages in system logs for several days.
Conclusion: while reporting software failure one has to be cautious about the conditions of hardware. It even worth it to ask a specialist when possible. These faults are not easily identifiable, and manifestation can be contr-intuitive. -- Heavy network activity (eg: torrent/nfs file transfers) causes Hard System Locks and/or Network Freezes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147464 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
