This bug maybe fixed, but it is already happening in various Linux distros, not just Ubuntu. This bug drastically lowers the computer's performance and it's negatively affect the lifespan of HDDs, because of the extreme usage. The noise from the HDD annoys the user and therefore can negatively affect the performance of their work, so this is a very important bug that must be fixed, once and for all. Fix it, And leave that part of the code alone. Forever.
