[Bug 1275227] Re: Computer froze completely upon ejecting firewire external hard drive

 

Joseph,
so far it's been an isolated, one time event.
I use the drive daily and it has worked fine so far after the incident.

Title:
  Computer froze completely upon ejecting  firewire external hard drive

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Firewire 800 hard drives have been plugged in and out of this macbook
  pro 8,3 laptop running ubuntu 12.04 many times. Today, I plugged in
  the drive, copied a number of files into it, and upon pushing the
  eject button in nautilus (as usual), the computer froze:  mouse didn't
  move, couldn't switch to a tty to kill e.g. a rogue program, nothing.
  After a few seconds, I heard the fan going full speed, indicating that
  a program got stuck at 100% CPU usage. After a hard reboot, all is
  back to normal. First time this happens in the 2 years I've been using
  this laptop with ubuntu 12.04.

  Thanks for looking into this.
