This is still happening on Natty. I wanted to use a VM with VMWare Player that was saved on my NTFS partition. It was totally unuseable, I noticed the mount.ntfs-3g consumed all the CPU. I moved the VM to my ext4 drive and it is now flying. Both partitions are on the same disk and I had mounted the ntfs with the following:
UUID=<XXXXXX> /media/XXXX ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_ZA.UTF-8 0 0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392204 Title: Huge CPU usage by mount.ntfs process -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
