Bug Description

Output of iotop:

I have to kill it, cause it trashing my disk io.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thank you for your bug report, do you have chrome(ium) storing passwords in the keyring? Could be https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=98601

Yes I think that bug is related - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=98601
I have chrome storing password in keyring, and password sync set to enabled

I remember, I have deleted some password using passwords.google.com, and after that this case happened
