Comment 270 for bug 131094

I've upgraded to lucid. Otherwise it runs quite well, but this I/O problem is still here or even worse! Now a single apt dist-upgrade (with 30 packages to update or so) made my X frozen (no mouse can be moved, the music player just repeats a single second, I guess from some kind of buffer only, etc) for long minutes. I've managed to switch to text console (CTRL-ALT-F1) and after login, according to top, the system load was above 11, and almost all CPU was in "wait" state.

Linux oxygene 2.6.32-12-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 5 08:14:39 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

After end of apt-get, everything returned into the normal way of working ...
