http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12603 Summary: firefox downloads hang on ext4; fine on ext3 Product: File System Version: 2.5 KernelVersion: 2.6.27.10 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: ext4 AssignedTo: fs_ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: avery@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Distribution: Debian testing/unstable Software Environment: Kernel is actually from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel. Version is 2.6.27-1~experimental.1~snapshot.12516, which appears to be based on 2.6.27.10. Problem Description: I mentioned this in my last bug report (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12424), but it seems that was something unrelated (I think). My firefox downloads have been hanging off and on since reformatting ext3->ext4. I've finally found a way to reproduce this 100% of the time. Steps: 1.) download large file to folder on ext4 fs 2.) close all firefox windows except the download manager before download completes 3.) download will hang at nearly 100% This happens every single time. If I keep another firefox window open (beside the downloads mini-window), the download always completes successfully. If I do the same steps except save the file to an ext3 fs, it always works. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
