Comment 81 for bug 392204

Well, sure. My issue is that I don't know nearly enough about Linux to look into this bug myself, and have no idea what combination of factors causes it to freeze my laptop every time I copy more than 10-100MB or so onto my root directory (a Wubi Ubuntu 12.04 install over Windows 7). Is it Wubi that's causing the problem (which didn't exist in my previous 11.04 install). Is it a new version of ntfs-3g that caused this bug to occur sometimes? Is it a symptom of multiple causes across Ubuntu, or is it a single problem that people have no interest in fixing?

Since this is the root directory doing this I doubt I can unmount as suggested above. So I'd rather adopt the approach that causes this problem to go away fastest rather than have my system hang every time I want to do something other than edit text files, since it seems like this problem won't be solved any time soon.
