Comment 13 for bug 330824

The freezes I initially reported occurred when I was moving large folders between ext4 partitions (moves between partitions involve deletes). When I am doing this kind of re-organizing, I usually have several move operations going on concurrently. Could it be that the bug is triggered more easily when there are multiple delete/move operations going on concurrently?

Last night I moved 70GB of data between 2 ext4 partitions. All the 70 GB was moved in one sequential operation. The computer did not freeze. I dropped one one of the ext4 partitions, re-created it, then moved the data back. The machine still did not freeze.

This evening I will "manufacture" some data that I can afford to lose then move it helter skelter between several ext4 partitions, making sure that there is a large number of moves active at any particular time.
