I haven't had a problem with this for a long time, but it started again about a month or two ago, on 22.04 system.

It does not matter what is the source and/or destination (NFS shared drive, local HDD, local SDD, USB, whatever), or is same or different drive used as source and destination, when I start a copying operation the whole system just hangs, mouse can barely move, music stops to play or is very choppy. System is back to be usable only after copying has finished.

I applied /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes and proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes trick, it helped a bit, but did not solve the problem.
