Bug Description
Binary package hint: coreutils
This is a follow-up to [Bug 675613], where "dpkg" stalled attempting to sync() and the "sync" binary then stalled when run manually. A similar problem occurred on the same machine when my backup script ran the "sync" binary. This machine has beebn running normally since upgraded to 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04, and these errors have only occurred recently. The problem is unlikely to be in "coreutils", because "dpkg" does not run the "sync" binary. However, the "sync" binary and "dpkg" have both stalled attempting to sync() the filesystem.
