(Get the code!)
The freeze is being caused by slow file preallocation. You can ameliorate this by using a faster filesystem, or faster media, or by turning off preallocation.
If the filesystem doesn't support a fast allocation call like fallocate64(), and preallocation is set to "full", then preallocation is unavoidably going to be slow.
