due to bad implementation of some apps/libs this bug cause continual disk
access (HDD led is always ON) and possible disk damage. Is there a chance to
somehow speed up release of fix for this bug (it's been reported over a year
ago)? I believe the first step to change status to CONFIRMED.

Many people noticed unusual disk activity after upgrade to ext4:
