Comment 47 for bug 392204

Using Lucid with ntfs-3g 2010.3.6.

Today, I tried to move an Eclipse workspace (2.1 GB and about 20,000 files), it moved 990 MB and has still to move 11,630 files but it is really hanged!!! It does do anything any more. I just have 100% of the CPU (one whole core) consumed by the ntfs-3g process and the second core is in IO Wait... and that's about 8 minutes that this did not change!!!
Here is the top:

This bug has to be corrected for Lucid and all supported Ubuntu platform. It's a long standing and critical bug. (yes I'm in a bad mood, sorry for that but that's more than a year that I have the problem!! see comment #7)

My scenario was: from NTFS to ext4, moving 2.1 GB of data (Java workspace).

Here is the ntfs-3g version:
ntfs-3g 2010.3.6 external FUSE 28 - Third Generation NTFS Driver
  Configuration type 1, XATTRS are on, POSIX ACLS are off
