After playing around with the US mount options in my jaunty 64, I still see this issue.

In my case, I think this is the result of using ubuntu on an NTFS USB drive: If I copy and delete large files (4-8GB) in Jaunty, the USB drive gets fragmented (expectedly so). If I plug this device to my Windows box, it is defragmented by default (in vista or 7).
When I use Jaunty again to copy large files, I don't see this problem again.
