Title:
  whose system frozen

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I had two terminal windows open, each one was executing a rsync
  command to copy relatively big amounts of data from a disk to another
  (they were transferring separate folders so they could not interfere
  with each other), and I had Thunderbird and Google Chrome and few
  other applications open.

  Suddenly the notebook's fan cooler's speed went down, the two rsyncs stopped progressing, and Thunderbird's window became greyed out and stopped responding.
  Then I tried opening a new tab in Google Chrome but it stopped responding too

  Then I moved the mouse to the left of the screen and the launcher
  showed up, but then the whole system stopped responding to mouse
  clicks. The launcher didn't hide when I moved the mouse away and at
  this point the whole system was frozen.

  It did respond to keyboard and I could hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to open a virtual terminal.
  After entering the user name, the terminal got stuck too and it never prompted me for a password.

  The only thing I could do was to force power off.

  It looks like the freezing had to do with disk I/O.
