Hi folks, Yesterday I got a kernel dump on switching off my USB disk docking station (2 slots, 2 different disks were inserted, none active). When I tried to login this morning the PC became unresponsive. I had to power-cycle. Its a Debian kernel (4.19.67-2+deb10u1), but I wonder does this ring a bell? See https://bugs.debian.org/943939 for the whole kern.log file.
