No, it's an immediate hard lockup. It occurs right after a file writefile, and the file that's supposed to have been written does not get written. Is there somewhere I can look after I reboot and it gets done fscking my drive? btw, about 20% of the time it does such serious damage that it puts me in maintenance mode on reboot.
