[Bug 392204] Re: Huge CPU usage by mount.ntfs process

[Rus Newtron]

I also experience this bug. mount.ntfs will consume 100% CPU (resulting
in OS freezing temporarily until whatever process completes). It's
usually triggered by untarring large tarballs, or downloading large
files to the NTFS partition, moving large files. I'm on 12.04 installed
via Wubi from Windows 7.  I've tried a variety of the suggestions
presented in the comments and on other sites. I've given up now and I'm
reinstalling Ubuntu on ext4. Good luck everyone!
