Hi John.
I can certainly understand your frustration that there's been no
response for a long time. Unfortunately, I'm not a dev, so I won't be
much help in terms of actually fixing the problem. I just came across
the bug and was interested in whether it still existed as there have
been many updates to Ubuntu since you reported your problem.
I think what might be useful to see on this particular issue are some exact
steps somebody can take to reproduce the issue you described.
For example,
Step 1. Install Ubuntu with an ext3 file system # or may be create an ext3
filesystem on an already installed system
Step 2. Create 70,000 small text files in a directory # if you had a particular
method for creating the 70,000 1K text files, perhaps using a 'for' loop or
similar - include this
Step 3... and so on.
That way whoever looks at the bug can at least verify and confirm the
issue you've described. With easy to follow reproducer steps using a
more recent version of Ubuntu, I'd imagine it would be easier for
someone to make progress with the bug.
FWIW, I was unable to reproduce this issue on a Trusty install but I use
an ext4 fs and that, as you alluded to previously, may be a very
important factor. Unfortunately, with my current set up I'm not able to
test using ext3.
