Hi!
Can you help me testing out this (ugly fix?). Out of pure curiosity I did:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump
but while trying to 'trace' the bug with dmesg (assuming it's I/O related) I couldn't find anything. WHY? Because my Ubuntu Hardy stopped freezing! My theory is that this command works like a 'keep-alive', thus the drive has no room to 'time-out'. Since there is no way to explain this accurately, can somebody try this and confirm? When you're done revert with: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump. Do dmesg to check the output. Not a fix, but always something.
