Hi, I have my desktop about 24 hours in "deadlock". I was copying (as root in krusader from USB key (mounted as [1]) data to filesystem [2]) some files from one point to another. Now it is more than 24 hours with sustained disk write, see [3]. How can I help and "debug" this problem? I have 3.5.7 gentoo kernel ([4]). PS: I am an average user, so please by verbose to me.
