Bug Description
I reported this bug into ubuntuforums to aware other users, here is a copy:
"Last week I was becoming crazy because 2 virtual machines were shutting down unexpectedly. I found that it happened every time I tried to move large files via networking from virtual machines to host machine (NFS, FTP) or from virtual machine to virtual machine. Since my server has 3 big hdds, i formatted one into ext3 (all of them were ext4) and moved the virtual machines into the ext3 hard disk. It was like magic. No more problems.
I post this here in the hope it can be useful for someone and I will look how to notify about this problem to vmware/ubuntu.
Regards,"
Maybe it is related with other ext4 problems reported, I looked into there but didn't find a bug to "attach" this. If you need more information, please, ask.
Thankyou very much.

Hi corrosion,
This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/releases/ .
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 483202
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
