The last time, the freeze occurred during a simple 'rsync' operation
between two SATA devices - there was no concurrent action. After that I
updated to the following upstream kernel:

Hi Holger,
If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would
be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the
upstream kernel, please remove the
While today it froze again during SATA access (a mac synced it's
timemachine backup via SMB), I reviewed again some log files and this
time found something interesting: The SATA RAID array is syncing in the
background.
The system worked stable for half a year. And then, this happened:

The difficulty of course is that you have a black screen with no

Drop to a text console (ctrl-alt-f1) and kick the backup off from there, but
before you do it run
setterm -blank 0
that should turn off screen blank so if it does fail then maybe
it'll leave
Hi Dave! Thanks for your reply. Unfortunatelly no keyboard interaction
is possible includes ctrl-alt-f1. The freeze also happens if I keep on
working with the desktop (no black screen) or if I trigger the process
remotely via ssh. There is no message, just a freeze.

computer freeze on disc
Hi,
What I meant was to do the ctrl-alt-f1 and setterm either before starting
the backup or immediately afterwards
before it has hung; then you can leave the computer and do something else and
come back to it and if it has hung maybe
see a message helping to say why.

Thank, this is a good hint. But I'm going crazy - currently it works and
copies all files without freezing. So now it is a not reproducible
behaviour. :-/ I keep trying. A USB copy was always a good candidate for
a freeze ...
