I too am experiencing lockups on large file transfers. I am trying to transfer several gigs from an external hard drive (FAT32) to a secondary internal hard drive (ext3) mounted at /home.
The progress bar comes up and says 2 hours remaining, but shortly after, the system completely locks; the clock doesn't even change. I thought that I might have install some package that corrupted Ubuntu's ability to successfully complete large file transfers, so I did a full reinstall. After the re-installation and immediately after my first login, I attempted to do the same file transfer again. It again locked the system as it did before. -- System eventually freezes during large data transfer from samba share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104256 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
