I can help you debug this for only about another week -- I've borrowed the external disk drives that make it fail reliably, and I'll have to return them soon. I'm happy to help debug it, and almost as happy to let it go for another day, if you can't get to this in time. I'm a free software volunteer author too.
Any suggestions on what I should do next? I can reproduce the hang; what data can I gather during the hang that would help you? The system runs fine except that when a process touches the failing USB disk device, or mounted filesystem, it hangs. Most of those hangs can be interrupted with a kill -9, but not all. Is there a better kernel for me to reproduce it in?
