Bugzilla – Bug 918638
VirtualBox freezes with virtual hard disk on fuse filesystems (ntfs-3g e.g.) during file io

Created attachment 623868 [details] dmesg log entry of the crash I tried to install openSUSE 13.1 in VirtualBox on a 13.2 host (with the virtual harddisk located on an ntfs-3g partition), and VirtualBox just froze during installation. It hang, I couldn't quit VirtualBox, and I couldn't even access the ntfs partition any more (had to reboot). I tried a few times, and this happened every time: most of the time it froze when installing some package (sometimes I even got a YaST error dialog before the freeze), a few times it hang during partitioning already. Attached is the kernel log entry printed by dmesg. Searching the Internet led me to this upstream kernel bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82951 This states that it is fixed in 3.17, and indeed after upgrading the kernel to the current 3.19.0 from Kernel:stable I didn't have a problem any more. The upstream bug report mentions two commits that should fix this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82951#c15 Would it be possible to backport those to 13.2's 3.16.7 kernel?
PS: this is the corresponding mailinglist thread on stable@vger.kernel.org: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/111752
Bug#918954 was about backporting exactly the same commits, and this has been done yesterday. So I'm closing this one as duplicate. Thank you! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 918954 ***
