Comment 9 for bug 94821

This happens to me too. I am not sure if dd really is the problem or indeed just the messenger, but it does appear suddenly right before the problem occurs, while also using a lot of cpu (1 of 2 cores is totally busy which is almost never the case on this machine). my computer just freezes when the root partition is filled up on those log files and that's really anoying as you might geuss

im running intrepid (2.6.27-9-generic, also happens with i think it is 2.6.27-7-generic). my geuss is that something is wrong with the wireless driver (iwlagn), just because dmesg also complains a lot about that, certainly in combination with vmware 2.0, which it tries to link for nat networking, but this could be a sepperate problem

a lot of stuff going wrong, any idea where to start?
