Hi Ancoron, I guess you're right that it is unrelated. For one thing, my freeze was a one-off. I haven't managed to duplicate it. I use Ubuntu a lot, but I'm not really au fait with the kernel and therefore am not sure how to find out more about the bug in order to report it properly.
Assuming that it was file system related and it affected the kernel, it is likely to be a file system driver that is at fault. In any event, I ran your script for about 90 minutes and had no ill effects. -- System hard locks with Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/535572 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
