Comment 7 for bug 119565

OK, I just reproduced the problem, and collected all of the information I could. Here's what happened in chronological order:

* I browsed to the shared folder of my windows XP box (which also has a gigabit NIC), and started to download a 700 MB file to the desktop of my Ubuntu machine. It seems that I don't have any real problems with my Ubuntu box untill I get the NIC working at gigabit speeds. The NIC on my XP box is an on board VIA device. There's a gigabit switch between the two machines.

* 52.1 MB of the file downloaded, and that's it. The estimated time remaining indicator started increasing, and the mouse stopped responding. I believe this is around the time that I would have tried the control alt delete, and backspace before.

* A message popped up saying "Error "Timeout reached: while copying "smb://(not relevant....)". Would you like to continue?" The options were cancel and retry. I selected retry with the keyboard, but the same message popped up again, so I selected cancel.

* Around this time, the network connection was lost, and then reestablished. The mouse did not start working again.

* I control alt F1ed to a text screen and restarted.

* Unlike the times when I had pressed reset, I was able to boot to a full GUI. I seems that my use of the reset button, and lack of patience may have been responsible for some of the file system corruption.

* I collected the logs, crash report, and the output of dmesg, lspci -vv, lspci -vvn, and /proc/interupts, zipped them, and am uploading them with this message.

It seems that fsck found some file system corruption, but nothing as bad as what I saw before.
