[linux-audio-user] [OT?] ext3/kjournald lockup 2.6.1

[Eric Dantan Rzewnicki]

I'm not sure exactly where to send something like this. 

I'm building a new box for audio work. I let an scp of my 41G of audio
files from my old box to the new one run over night. The transfer took
just under 10 hours and failed on the last few files like this:

warning: Cannot open destination file
192.168.1.9:/mnt/audio/pool/rasox4/rt4b3.wav
warning: Cannot open destination file
192.168.1.9:/mnt/audio/pool/rasox4/rt4b4.wav
warning: Creating destination directory "/mnt/audio/test" failed.(status
= 7)
warning: Cannot open destination file 192.168.1.9:/mnt/audio/test/t0.wav

192.168.1.9:/mnt/audio/test/foo2.wav
warning: Cannot open destination file
192.168.1.9:/mnt/audio/test/foo3.wav

The new box is locked up hard, no keyboard reaction at all, not even
alt-sysrq.

There is a call trace on the screen which I have typed out (and double
checked):

The new box is:

1.5G PC2700 DDR RAM
40G seagate ST340014A 
    /dev/hda1 2G swap
    /dev/hda2 12G ext3
    /dev/hda3 empty (reserved for testing demudi?)
    /dev/hda4 empty (reserved for linux from scratch?)
160G seagate ST3160021A
    /dev/hdc1 ~150G /mnt/audio
    mke2fs -j -m0 -b4096 -N500000
linux 2.6.1 (kernel.org sources -- no patches)
    preempt on
debian testing (sarge)
    minimal install ~150 packages
    no X installed yet

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
