My Smolt profile http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_c38b5c49-9c83-4457-8db8-03d91072afa6 Kernel is: Linux Acer 2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.PAE What do you mean by "system crashes"? Is userspace dead? Any error messages, oops? Is the machine alive on network? Created attachment 501349 [details]
Copy of screen shot fro disk manager
herewith you will find a copy (I apologize that is in Italian) of what I see on my screen about the USB disk...If I try to remove safely from this screen I get the message cannot be stopped and system doesn't crash, Mount/Umount is safe, but if filesystem I get the message that filesystem is not clean.
In my opinion system completely freezes, as there is no button combination to make it alive again, afterwards I will try some network tests to see if system is still alive
please read: If I try to remove safely from this screen I get the message cannot be stopped as: If I try to remove safely from this screen I get the message daemon cannot be stopped Created attachment 522370 [details]
copy of kernel panic
Today after latest updates....system if F15 fully updated!!!
Comment 5 happened with latest kernel $ uname -a Linux Acer 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Tue Aug 30 14:54:41 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux For a long time between comment 1 and 5, everything was o.k..... Shall I open a new bug?? (but I assume that everything is connected..) the external disk is NFTS/HTFS formatted, just for information uname -a Linux Acer 2.6.40.3-0.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Tue Aug 16 04:24:09 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux when using this kernel, I am not experiencing such crashes (at least until now. When updated ntfs packages from updates-testing, situation became poorer, with continuous crashes (at least with .4-5.fc15 kernel no, same kind of kernel panic even with .3-0.fc15 kernel. Okay, moving to kernel component. I understand that I am experiencing this crash when I use the option Remove safely device in Nautilus, no problem if I click on the small icon (like an arrow) to umount the device in Nautilus. Seems connected to this external HD (I mean Western Digital), no such an issue with other removable devices Same issue here but on fc14: $ uname -a Linux pcrh103 2.6.35.14-96.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Thu Sep 1 12:49:38 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The external device is a WD passport formated with ntfs. After "safely removing" the hard disk the system freezes. Nothing is working. The screen goes black and powers off. I need to press the power reboot button to start again. I have a similar problem under fedora 14, 2.6.35.14-96.fc14.x86_64. External 1TB USB2 Freecom Disk, ntfs formatted. After asking for safe removal, the system freeze hard immediately, with caps-lock and scroll-lock leds flashing. I have to keep pressed the power button to switch off the machine. Could you please try this update and see if the problems recreate: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.40.6-0.fc15 We've added another possible fix for this issue from upstream. 2.6.40.6-0.fc15.i686 seems to make it work Tnx Thank you for letting us know! |
