I have resisted posting because 'me too' is not helpful. However, I am operating two very different machines (no two pieces of hardware the same) with the same operating system (Jaunty [ext4] with all the latest updates). Both machines exhibit the same 'freezing' problem on deleting files and the effect is random with seemingly no preference to size or number of files being deleted.
As an engineer I hate to give qualitative (versus quantitative) comment, but I have noticed that the frequency of system freezes has increased roughly threefold (conservatively) in the last few weeks, particularly since the move to 2.6.28-13 from 2.6.28-12. For the first time in 30 years I am having to modify my software to have it not delete temporary files just to avoid the operating system hanging... madness! Dare I say I cannot remember Windoze ever having a bug this bad; I think this one needs nailing fast gang. -- 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
