Same here with ubuntu 13.10. I searched what blocks every day my computer for more than 1 hour. First I found with iotop that something accesses my mount.ntfs where a 200 GB partition of the system hd is mounted. Then with ps I came to the find command of updatedb described here. This is a really annoying bug. I don't think that an inexperienced user can find out what blocks his computer for more than one hour. I am wondering that this bug exists with no change from ubuntu 13.04 until now.
