https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29662 Summary: System freeze while rsyncing whole system from ext4 to ext4 via USB 2.0 Product: File System Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 2.6.38-rc6 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: ext4 AssignedTo: fs_ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: marc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: Yes This morning I rsynced my system to an USB HDD via some scripts utilizing rsync. The machine froze when a big file was transfered (updated on the backup device). The host as well as the backup use ext4. My machine froze with no logs at all. The system just stalled and anything using the host disk was unusable. No new shell, no closing of running apps (probably due to stalled config writes on exit). acpid shutdown via power button worked but the init scripts suffered a lot of problems. Finally (after some minutes) the disk could be unmounted by the init script and the machine powered off. I don't know what I could do to repeat that problem. I was unable to ssh in and switch to vt1 as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
