You are mentioning Virtualbox in your report... What is your host OS, and is Ubuntu the guest?
If you use large files regularly, you may want to read filesystem benchmarks such as http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1204_fs&num=1 In my experience (single hard drive) the xfs filesystem worked the best for large files, ext4 is "OK", while ext3 and reiserfs are very slow. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999386 Title: Disk access locking whole PC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/999386/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
