Comment 20 for bug 279693

same problem here, ubuntu 8.10 (Linux 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux) this is a really annoying bug, freezes access to disk for half a minute, causing for example music stoping to play, preventing launching new applications... though for instance i am able to switch between windows or scroll the already opened web page in the firefox - this MUST be fixed before 9.04
