Bug Description
Binary package hint: mountall
When starting Karmic Koala mountall continues to run non-stop reading and writing to the local harddrive creating a very noisy system (harddrive read/write noise) and creating a severe performance boost (I/O to the harddrive is taken up by mountall).
The only workaround at the moment is to kill the process mountall manually from the command line.

I'm not aware of any code in mountall that would write to the hard drive.
Please run "sudo strace -p PID_OF_MOUNTALL" before killing it, and attach the output of that command to this report.
