Comment 226 for bug 330824

Just started using Ubuntu and I had to go looking for why the server constantly locked on rm commands.

This happens pretty much 100% of the time in my ext4 filesystems that are large (100gb 60%+ full). I cannot delete more than 20-30 files before it hangs.

I also was able to go up to 2.6.29 and not see it happen again. I cannot find 2.6.28 change to bring in even though this says it is commited....which I would prefer, since 2.6.29 causes all manner of Samba issues. I brought down every Jaunty proposed package and the lockup was still happening as of 20 minutes ago...so if it being presented via the Update Manager/Proposed it isn't fixed I'd have to say.

I also was able to reproduce this with the Live CD when I mounted the filesystems there and attempted to do the rms...here is what I did:

1 - boot live CD
2 - mount ext4 filesystem
3 - termial rm files from it
4 - lockup

As far as ecryptfs goes...I don't even know what it is, so I doubt it is running.
