Everything stops at where it was and nothing works after the hang

is unresponsive, the keyboard is unreponsive.
This should not happen to a system when a bad CD, floppy or usb
media device is nounted on the system.
Nobody wants their system killed by corrupted media which is not
part of the core operating system.
I almost agree with you. I'd just leave out "which is not part of
the core operating system."
I thought the original message was a nicely put criticism. FCx has
a real problem which certain other OS do not have. It should be
fixed.
True enough. It's not a reason not to use Linux, though. It's a
reason to get the bug fixed.
Didn't say it was a reason not to use FCx.
What did you say the Bugzilla number for this problem was?
I think the guy with the problem should be the one to make an
entry. I don't have any music CDs, so I can't really create
an entry with any useful data in it. It's so tacky, don't you
think, to create problem reports with gossip in them?

My problem was with one specific kernel version that is now long gone,
an smp kernel. Hopefully, this sort of stopping the system dead in its
tracks can be avoided.
I have had problems with a card reader slowing the system down to a very
slow rate before. Using these two problems, there is room for
improvement when filesystems that are not primary to the system are
faulty. There should be some sort of governor to break out of faulty
filesystems that especially are of the removable media types.
Other OSes, at least w9x also had problems caused by crashes due to
defective removable media. Later version OSes do better when dealing
with corrupt media, but may bring down the system in some cases.
Linux can do better when dealing with this problem.
