I am also experiencing this problem. Copying ~6 GB, 5 files to a 8GB ntfs usb stick throws my load WAY up to 6-7. All filesystem actions afterwards lock nautilus for ~20 seconds.
Transfer speed starts at about 48MB/s then ramps down to 700KB/s. -- Huge CPU usage by mount.ntfs process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
