The Tuxera FAQ says one cause of this problem is writing to sparse files and/or fragmented volumes.
>From the upstream changelog, this has recently been fixed: "STABLE Version 2010.8.8 (August 8, 2010) * Fixed partially overwriting sparse clusters on highly fragmented volumes. " You might try installing a more recent upstream NTFS-3g version (2010.8.8 or 2010.10.2) and see if that helps. Unofficial Ubuntu packages for 2010.8.8 can be found at: https://launchpad.net/~x3lectric/+archive/team-iquik-releases/+packages I hope we can soon get the latest version into the official Ubuntu channels. -- 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
