Bug Description

Nautilus 3.4.2 in Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits and Nemo 2.6.7 in Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64 both crash or be very very slow trying to access some folders in mirrored Seagate sata-2 500 GB hard disks (fake raid 1 ICH9 from Intel) NTFS file system, where KDE file browsers like Dolphin and Konqueror work fine and faster, like MS Windows do. No matter if I run MS Windows Scandisk or no, if Scandisk fix errors or not, Nautilus and Nemo continue crashing where Dolphin and Konqueror, installed over Ubuntu or Linux Mint, work fine and very faster than Nautilus and Nemo. Both Ubuntu and Mint are updated until today, january 12 2016.
If there is some corrupted file names or directories in that disk, why KDE file browsers can access and open that files very fast and Nautilus don't?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:

1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
    ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.

2. If step 1 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us.

3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921, reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1.

Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself.
