It is possible that I'm seeing the same problem. Our AMD Opteron 4386 (16 cores) machine is also getting stuck with lots of hung tasks. Although it responds to ping, and even a KVM virtual machine running on it appears to continue working correctly, the host itself is locked up. This happens once

Further to my original report I've done some more experiments and noted that: - The problem does indeed seem to be file size related. Small images and video files do not cause the host controller to die. A transfer of four video files totalling over 700MiB did cause the failure. - The system
