Comment 17 for bug 392204

I'm also affected by this bug. When copying from or to a ntfs partition the transfer speed starts normally but then falls down to a halt... Then I get 100% CPU usage, 0.2% mem usage and the interesting part is that using iotop I get only 20 K/s disk write activity in total, all due to mount.ntfs process. That's happening on Ubuntu Karmic, kernel 2.6.31-17-generic using ntfs-3g version 1:2009.4.4-1ubuntu4. I wonder if someone is looking into this as it is a real nasty issue...
