I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a while but I can't get to the bottom of it. If I copy a large file, such as a movie, to usb stick wth ntfs on it my machine becomes intermittently unresponsive, the mouse will freeze for a fraction of a second but repeatedly. This only happens with ntfs. I don't see any high cpu usage when this is happening.
I have tried:
different usb sticks
different ways of copying (dragging dropping from file explorer, cp)
bfs/bfq/deadline
different kernels (vanilla, 3.14 to 4.2) - I thought that vanilla solved it but that's not the case
mounting with "ntfs-3g -o big_writes /dev/sdc1 /mnt"
having ntfs enabled/disabled in the kernel
I would just accept that perhaps this happens with ntfs but I just booted in to a live usb I have with porteus/lxqt and this freezing doesn't happen. I don't know what else to try but it's becoming incredibly annoying. Any ideas?
