I blamed banshee, since it was the only program that was really affected, but it was most likely due to the fact that it is always scanning the music collection placed there. System stopped freezing when I put that collection on fat32. It seems that is is ntfs-3g that was causing the issue.
I tried this. Will report back. Others can try this as well: https://launchpad.net/~gezakovacs/+archive/ntfs-3g -- [Karmic] mount.ntfs-3g high CPU utilization and causes sytem sluggishness and unresponsive cursor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395892 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
