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

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 warning: Cannot open destination file 192.168.1.9:/mnt/audio/test/foo.wav warning: Cannot open destination file 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): Call Trace: [<c0185520>] ext3_get_block+0x0/0xa0 [<c0139d7e>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x3e/0x40 [<c01544d0>] alloc_buffer_head+0x20/0x60 [<co1957a2>] journal_write_metadata_buffer+0x42/0x320 [<c01957a2>] journal_commit_transaction+0xcf1/0x1210 [<c0212009>] ip_local_deliver+0xe9/0x250 [<c01ffdb2>] netif_receive_skb+0x152/0x190 [<c01ffe63>] process_backlog+0x73/0x100 [<c01fff64>] net_rx_action+0x74/0x110 [<c011714d>] schedule+0x31d/0x570 [<c0117441>] __wake_up_common+0x31/0x60 [<c0195469>] kjournald+0xc9/0x240 [<c0118a80>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x50 [<c0118a80>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x50 [<c0108e0e>] ret_from_fork+0x6/0x14 [<c0195380>] commit_timeout+0x0/0x10 [<c01953a0>] kjournald+0x0/0x240 [<c0106e49>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xc Code: 8b 04 87 89 46 14 8b 44 24 2c 3b 50 3c 73 06 49 83 f9 ff 75 <6>note: kjournald[10] exited with preempt_count 1 The new box is: asus a7v8x-x athlon xp 2800+ 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?
