I reproduced this bug (kernel panic, total freeze) this morning by doing *two* simultaneous rm -rf commands on folders created by copying /bin /lib /boot /etc /lib64 /root /srv /usr /opt /sbin /var into two backup folders on another ext4 partition.
I had netconsole running on another computer, but nothing at all was logged there about the panic, unlike in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/330824/comments/57. At least something was damaged in the crash because Skype needed my password after rebooting, but I'm not sure what else might have been affected. The folders I was deleting at the time of the crash were largely intact. -- Soft lockups (freezes) when deleting files from ext4 partitions on 2.6.28 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330824 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
