I experience this problem on Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora, 64-bit and 32-bit. So it seems to be a kernel bug? The problem was reduced by reformatting all my drives from ext4 to ext3, but it is not eliminated. I've gotten it to the point where Iotop shows gconfd-2 and kjournald writing to disk simultaneously about once every 2 minutes -- just long enough for my hdd to continually spin down then spin back up again, then down, then up... In my opinion this is a serious bug!
