Well said Andri. Now back to the bug. I have been running 2 entirely different servers with the desktop version of 9.10 for 3 weeks now with EXT3 and other with EXT4.
In 8.10 and 9.04 Ubuntu froze as described above when I deleted large numbers of files. Or indeed when any software deleted anything (eg Sabnzbd, newsleecher etc) However I upgraded the Kernel on one server as recommended and upgraded to 9.10 on the other and the problem hasn't shown its ugly head in three weeks. Whatever the problem is it isn't restricted to EXT4. So whatever is in the new kernel or 9.10 is working and should be brought to 9.04. If like me your not a huge Linux tech and looking for a quick easy fix from 9.04 press ALT F2, in the box type update-manager -d and press run, in the next window click upgrade. -- 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
