So basically, the fact that ext4 simply does not work in Ubuntu Jaunty should be in the release notes? Maybe you should just be honest with the upcoming user base and simply disable it until it does work. Delivering something known to be so broken rather than simply failing to deliver, IMHO, is the worse option. If people really want/need ext4 and it's a deciding factor in choosing a distro, they should be allowed to evaluate their choices without the smoke and mirrors that it works in Ubuntu. Don't waste their time. I'm not sure why this is not being resolved anyway. Ted gave some awesome advise into tracking down this bug and some other people spent a significant portion of their own valuable time to do most of the grunt work. Why are the results of those efforts not being put towards fixing the problem and making a release that works? -- 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
