[Bug 197762] Re: file transfers on USB disk are very slow
After playing around with the US mount options in my jaunty 64, I still see this issue. In my case, I think this is the result of using ubuntu on an NTFS USB drive: If I copy and delete large files (4-8GB) in Jaunty, the USB drive gets fragmented (expectedly so). If I plug this device to my Windows box, it is defragmented by default (in vista or 7). When I use Jaunty again to copy large files, I don't see this problem again. -- file transfers on USB disk are very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Sergey Once the USB thumbdrive is mounted, you can right-click on its desktop icon and select Properties. From there you will see the Volume tab and specify the mount options Carlos M -- file transfers on USB disk are very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

>From what I googled, it appears the 'noatime' option implies 'nodiratime' as well. I was able to specify this option in the USB->Properties->Volume->Mount options. It seemed to work when I transfered two 4.2GB movies but I'll keep an eye on it -- I'm not sure it's fixed in my case. Also, this issue is showing up in other distro's as well (fedora, arch linux, opensuse). Just google 'usb file copy very slow'. Some users in these posts think it's a kernel issue, but I don't know enough to say for sure. Coincidentally, I have 2 x64 machines - one with 8.10 (older box with the original installation) and one with 9.04 (newer box with all the latest updates). Interestingly enough, I've never seen this issue in the 8.10 box and I've been running both of them for months.
