what is your hardware config, mainly for disks ? in the if I use LVM on top of ide disks some big file transfert, like ftp tar ..., the system hang during the file manipulation. when moving the same config on SCSI disk I never see this situation.
My config is soft raid1 + lvm + ext3 fs
Have you had the same problem with ext3 on non-LVM/RAID systems?
