One more piece of data.

On the Toshiba Satellite A70, I re-installed my old 100MB testing drive (with which under natty my machine would hang during copying of my Music directory either by ftp or from usb hard drive) and installed a fresh copy of Debian

This is running kernel Linux 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 8 21:36:00 UTC 2011 i686. I'm not familiar with Debian but I did notice that it automatically configured an ext3 file system.

With this installation, I copy my Music directory with no errors and no system hangs, both from usb and from ftp.

From this process I am pressed to conclude that there is definitely something wrong with the way natty is handling my hard drives on this Toshiba.

I don't know what else to try. A different kernel under natty?
