Could this be a ext3 problem due to the small journal or something?
Or is a usb problem more likely? "Dmesg" shows an
usb disconnect sometime after I mounted that filesystem,
but it seems to be usblp0 which looks like the printer to me.
I'd guess it is some USB/block layer problem. If just ext3 hung, then
you would not see [usb-storage] and similar hung. I would need to see
where each process hung to tell more..
You are right, it is block layer for I have seen problems with
vfat formatted compactflash too now. On my home machine, the
problems are intermittent. The hang can happen after
writing almost one GB, or it can happen early, in "mount"
I also have a via epia board that consistently fails to use
its compactflash reader, but that one is cardbus, not usb.
