Yes. It's the same computer. I use VirtualBox in Windows 7 to boot 
Linux, which is installed in the same hard drive. Then, in Linux, I use 
CIFS to have access to the Windows 7 partitions.

I captured a log with 'tcpdump', but I don't think it's of any use. It 
stopped logging at 16:01 but the hang happened after that. It didn't log 
anything from the problematic 'ls', 'kill -9' and 'umount /mnt/ntfs2'.
