Hello, Surfing the web, I found A lot of extra problems concerning ext4. somewhere I found that it is indeed linux kernel related. According der kernel org the problems are on 2.6.31 and 2.6.32 kernel and should be gone as from 2.6.33 but or fore some hardware 2.6.34 .
So I still had one of my raptors with a windows installation which I actually never used.Since the very few things I still need to do via windows are all covered true vmware xp installation. I just reformated it. On that drive I installed Ubuntu Beta release Maverick which is now running on 2.6.35-20 . Installation (ext4) went like a train +- 12 minutes basic install. (A very small hickup as pc did not want to shutdown after the install procedure, but it was not a freeze after all it's still a beta release) Till now it seems to run very fine . Off course freezes before where random and sometimes 3 a day till sometimes a week without a freeze. My first impession seems that the bug seems to be solved with this kernel and maverick. However I will monitor it closely, and still have to reïnstall data and configure my local servers. If there is a problem or it's freezes again A let it know here. If It now runs perfect during a good week I will let it know as well as then I guess this bug maybe closed with mentioning : If You run a kernel 2.6.32 xxx and encountering freezes from ext4 use ext3 or upgrade to kernel 2.6.35 greetings christophe -- ubuntu 10.04 ext4 fast Ram and Fast hd's freezes at random https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632346 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
