Please include the kernel version in reports like this, as well as any kernel messages that might be relevant... there was one deadlock in ext4 fixed recently, so it'd be nice to know what you're running. You could run iostat to see if any IO is going to the usb drive or not.

Feel free to just file bugs for stuff like this, too.
