Unmounting ntfs doesn't help, hence I converted the remaining ext2 filesystem
to ext3, modified the fstab entry accordingly and rebooted. Now everything
seems to be fine! Top reports an idle system and there is no abnormal iowait
any longer! Seems to be ext2 was causing this! Later today I can try to
remount the filesystem as ext2 to be sure the bug shows up again.
