I put the Oops on my web site (see Section 5 for links). BTW, tell me
if I did not do the ksymoops ok !

[1.] One line summary of the problem:

kernel panic while copying files

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

When I copy a 450 MB file from one partition (/usr) to another (/tmp) I get a kernel panic. It happens everytime I copy that file. The amount of data copied before the kernel panic is not always the same. These two partitions use ext2fs.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

xx

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

The problem happens with kernel 2.4.0-test{1,5,8,9} and it doesn't happen with kernel 2.2.{14,17}

I would like to use newer kernels since I want to add XFS support (SGI's filesystem). Although I must specify that my problems are happening even with kernel that have not had the XFS patch applied.

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the problem (if possible)

cp /usr/blah1 /tmp
