[Bug 24063] Re: Amarok hangs during tagging of FLAC files

[Evgeny Remizov]

During tag update mount.ntfs-3g consumes CPU nearly 100% for some amount
of time, though, this amount of time seems reasonable to me - like ntfs-
3g does it's job like it should. Then for some period CPU load is low -
amarok is doing something, and sometimes these periods are really large
- like four minutes in my second screenshot. After the tag update
process finishes, amarok starts to behave unstable - doesn't respond,
hangs for some time, then unhangs, does database updates a few times in
a row (last time all these processes ended 10 minutes after the last
file was updated, and amarok still has the tendency to hang from time to
time on few seconds) - but CPU usage stays low.

In my opinion, it's not ntfs-3g problem, but amarok (and/or maybe
underlying libs - libflac, whatever) one. I had amarok/mp3/ntfs-3g
triplet working ok for quite a long time now, but today as I tried flac
for the first time, I encountered the whole bunch of problems.

I will test more on ext3, and if I would be able to reproduce this
behaviour on ntfs-3g only, I'll go for ntfs-3g debug.
