Comment 236 for bug 330824

Hallo,

I'm sorry to say that my system still hard locks with the new 2.6.28-14
kernel in jaunty when I rsync my home partion (ext3) with my backup
partition (ext4). It does not matter wether I use 'rsync -av --delete
...' or only 'rync -av ...'. The latter one just takes a little longer
for the freeze to happen. This is on a AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+.

The weird thing is that a have access to another system with an Intel
Quad-Core CPU that is fully ext4 but runs without a hitch. I think that
suggests that we are really running into a timing/race problem here.

Best regards,
Stephan
