Public bug reported:
I've been trying to copy files from two different drives I have to
another drive. 1 drive I'm copying from is a 500gb Western Digital sata
drive, single partition, NTFS. The other is a 1TB WD sata drive, 2
500gb partitions, the one I'm copying from is NTFS. I'm copying to two
different ext4 partitions on a different WD 1TB sata drive. Initially I
was trying from in a terminal window (doing a cp -r *). That, however,
froze my system multiple times. Nothing would work, including ctrl-
alt-f#. Only reset would do anything. I initially suspected that
perhaps my video driver or something else X related was to blame, so I
exited into a terminal (ctrl-alt-f1), stopped gdm (sudo service gdm
stop), and tried again. This time, I got a log on the screen, I took a
picture, which I will attach. I have grepped all my logs in /var/log
and can not find the text I see in my screen grab anywhere in any of the
logs, so I think that it did not make it to disk. If, however, there is
somewhere I can find the log, I'd be happy to include the real log
instead of a screen grab.
It is worth noting that the drive I'm copying to is new...and I had
tremendous difficulty partitioning it with ubuntu. I had very similar
behaviour to when I was trying to copy. To wit, every time I would try
to partition the drive, my system would freeze, and I would be unable to
do anything except power cycle. I ended up using gparted-live to
partition the drive. SMART reports all four drives, including the new
drive, are good. I have even gone so far as to run the LONG SMART self-
test on all drives, and they are fine. Also worth noting that I tried
doing the partition with BOTH ubiquity AND gparted in Ubuntu and both
failed. The difference was that when gparted failed, it didn't freeze
the system. Ubiquity would freeze the system every time I tried (3 or 4
times). However, gparted live (0.4.6-01) worked fine, took only a
handful of minutes to create the two partitions I wanted.
I've eliminated the x driver, or anything else X. I think there is
something happening at the kernel level which is causing the crash, but
I don't know how to pinpoint it any further. I have copied off all my
/var/logs into a different directory so that I can reference any log you
might be interested in post-crash. Please let me know what else I can
do.
