Title:
  Copying a large file causes user interface to stop responding

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Any heavy and prolonged disc activity causes the UI, mouse, and
  terminal to stop responding. For example, copying several GB of data
  via `cp file1 file1-copy`. When the copy completes, or if it's
  interrupted, the user interface responds normally. The problem occurs
  even when there's several GB of memory to spare. Other kernel
  schedulers don't change anything.

  WORKAROUND: Disable swap.
