Exactly the same behaviour here on my laptop at work with a 32GB SD-card connected via a built-in MMC/SD-card reader. After having written more than 8GB of a 16GB git repository via rsync to the SD card, I have lock-ups for minutes (system load > 8 according to xosview). I have to try out and disable this huge pages feature and try again.

Thanks to Jonathan for the very enlightening article!
