Looks like kernel 2.6.35.4-maverick (2.6.35-02063504-generic #201008271919) fixes this bug!
I've been transferring hundreds of GB between two drives for the past hour without a freeze. Gnome does hiccup momentarily, e.g. while typing this firefox will become unresponsive (greyish window) for a few seconds but it's certainly acceptable compared to the hard crash I was experiencing. Unfortunately, I never was able to successfully generate a crashdump. -- Lucid freeze during large file transfer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583539 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
