Created attachment 517141 [details] kernel panic Description of problem: I'm getting this kernel panic (see screenshot) when connecting my external USB hard drive, copying a file (from NTFS partition) onto local disk, leaving the nautilus window open (while viewing the remote directory) and hitting "Safely eject drive" in Nautilus. When I first changed the directory to a local one and then unmounted the partition, the "safe eject" then went ok. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux kparal 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jul 29 18:46:53 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?uuid=pub_46e92a8f-2fad-4ef2-b610-c88f04d8cde6 How reproducible: 2 times out of 2 attempts Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect external hard drive with ntfs partition 2. copy file 3. leave nautilus window open while viewing the remote directory 4. hit "safely remove drive"
Can you test this build ? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=257839 it contains a patch that might fix this issue.
Thanks Dave, but unfortunately that doesn't help. Kernel panic still occurs.
thanks for testing. Exactly the same trace I assume ? I'll take this info back to the upstream scsi/block developers.
It's hard to compare kernel tracebacks, photo by photo, when I don't know anything about kernel tracebacks (i.e. what the important parts are). Lots of characters :) But they looked very similar, yes. I'll try to reproduce it once again in a few days and compare it more closely.

Package kernel-2.6.40.3-0.fc15: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 15 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel-2.6.40.3-0.fc15' as soon as you are able to, then reboot.

I re-tested with kernel-2.6.40.3-0.fc15. It does not fix the issue. The trace however seems different. The original says "comm: usb-storage" and the new one says "comm: ksoftirqd/0". But again, I don't know what to look for.
Created attachment 518679 [details] kernel panic with 2.6.40.3-0
kernel-2.6.40.3-0.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Kamil, can you try the 2.6.40.6-0.fc15 kernel and let us know if that resolves the problem? There is yet another blk fix in that kernel.
This has been fixed with 2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64. Thanks!
