I encountered the same error. The situation:
- Fully up-to-date Ubuntu server 7.10 (one week old!)
- Two harddisks (all checked, they're fine) Both master, disk 1 on first 
channel, disk 2 on second channel)
   - Disk 1: 2 partitions, both ext3, one mounted as root, other as /media/sda2.
   - Disk 2: 1 partition, reiserfs, mounted as /home. They are both 'normal' 
harddisks, connected via the IDE channels.
- Log on via SSH (Putty on windows client)
- Copying with "sudo cp -Ruv /home/share /media/sda2" starts fine, but after 
approx 15GB it stops, system hangs, doesn't respond, new SSH connections are 
refused. Pinging the server does work. Only way out is a hard reboot (pressing 
the on/off button!!!!). The logs show no strange messages around the time of 
the crash and since the filesystem journals show no problems either.
