Transfering data from external or internal drive to another hangs system Dec 11th 2012, 10:28 Hi there, not sure if this fits in here but it's not common you'll hear this. Anyways, I have done a backup on my system and each time I try to send it to an external drive, it never finishes. As soon as the transfer starts, the CPU usage jumps at least to 75% and the transfer goes on. Eventually, I can see the transfer rate drop all at once to a stall, and the system freezes on me, sometimes locking up. I thought my distro was screwed, as I had no errors on the console (still hangs though) so I went and wipe/reinstalled it. Well, before I did that, I tried a Kubuntu live environment, making sure that the distro would be the problem. In Kubuntu, the transfer rates went on without a problem. Backed up all the stuff needed. Now, I reinstalled Opensuse, and the problem...is back. What could cause my system to hang and see my CPU skyrocket like this over a transfer of files? All HDDs have passed the diagnostic tests. Ah, I forgot to add this; my /home directory dates from well over a year and some, if not the majority of configs comes from an old Sabayon setup. I had no issues before, but...you never know...
