I have exactly the same problem with Lubuntu 13.10, 64 bit. When i copy a big file from hard drive to USB stick, the system gets laggy and iotop shows that kswapd0 periodically eats 99.9% of IO. Turing of hugepages (http://lwn.net/Articles/467328/) and adjusting dirty_background_bytes /

I have the exact same issue on 12.04 64bit when copying to/from USB 3.0 HD (ext4 and NTFS file systems on USB HD; same thing on 2.0 and 3.0 ports) for a few months. Everything regarding this worked OK about a half a year ago and earlier. Actually, same issue on two computers with 12.04. In the

I discovered two more requirements to reproduce this bug: free RAM should be low and swap must be enabled. My system reacts this way even without RAM low, swap is on but the system sits at about 3gb/6 as far as RAM usage is concerned. My system: Linux joseph-UX32A 3.11.0-17-generic #31-Ubuntu
