I am having high cpu usage on gam_server and mount.ntfs. Is this normal?

just played HD trailer from ntfs partition and 'mount.ntfs' process took under 1% of CPU.
i would say this is not normal.

are you able to recreate it on your PC? does it happen on other PC/inside vbox session as well?
what i need to do to recreate it on my PC?

thanks

Hi fanthom,

I am not too sure how to re-create the situation.

I have left my laptop unattended for one night and it became like that.

I will monitor and report back if it come back again.
