Comment 7 for bug 385023

same here, and it's strange because i've empties my trash on numerous occasions before without encountering any issues. was trying to empty my trash of about 16GB and when I right-click on the trash icon and click "empty the deleted items folder" at first it shows a progress bar and then the systems hangs, thought I did something wrong and tried emptying the trash again after restarting but all to no avail. on every occasion my system hangs. Read somewhere that its because of a bug associated with ext4 dunno, I just know that it's very anoying and I hope it gets addressed soon.

Acer Aspire 3680
Ubuntu 9.04, ext4
