(dmesg output is attached)
The system in question is running an AMD X2 Dual-core processor with
2GB DDR2 dual-channel ram. The problem is observed both with the
GENERIC and SMP kernel configurations.

>Description:
The system freezes almost immediately when copying a
file to a usb disk slice that is formatted with Linux' ext2
filesystem. "Freeze" means that the system stops responding to any
keyboard or mouse input, the mouse pointer no longer moves.

After the necessary hard reboot the target file exists but is empty.
The resulting damage to the ext2fs filesystem is usually limited.

The problem has been persistent since Kernel release 6.1. /usr/src was
refreshed from stable on May 12th, 2007. The problem is independent
from the method of connecting the disk to the system (hotplug or at
boot time). The hardware works flawlessly under a different OS (Linux).

The file that is copied to the disk is 2097152000 bytes (~2GB)
large. It is unknown if the file size has an impact; the target disk
is my backup drive, so I am reluctant to experiment with it.
Similarly, it is unknown if the problem is related to the fact that
the disk is formatted with ext2.

/etc/make.conf parameters: CFLAGS+=-pipe -O2 -march=k8

Suspected cause of the problem: Deadlock within the kernel; potentially
due to a race condition.

>How-To-Repeat:
Connect a usb disk to the system with an ext2fs filesystem
in the first slice. Mount the disk with something like 

	mount -f ext2fs /dev/da0s1 /mnt.

Copy a file to the disk using, e.g.

	cp source-file /mnt

>Fix:
None known
