Yes, my feeling has always been that this is an unlink (or generically, "rm") race as I only saw it when two processes were processing file removals (with one being "rm -rf") in two different directories. Now what might be of relevance is that the two trees would have had shared a high percentage of hard links. Maybe it's a race on deleting a hard linked file? b. -- Soft lockups (freezes) when deleting files from ext4 partitions on 2.6.28 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330824 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
