This isn't normal behavior. Obviously it behaves fine while all writes
are going to buffer cache, but once it tries to write it out to the
device, wait times on the partition shoot up to 30sec or more, and all
processes trying to touch the usb disk block practically forever.
Sysstat shows it as 100
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
In jaunty alpha/amd64, gnome-terminal 2.25.5-0ubuntu2 shrinks the
terminal size by one line every time "reset" is run from the shell,
until the terminal is two lines high.
** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
