Theodore, thanks for the info. I don't have a lot of time this morning before work, but I was able to run one test which illustrates the problem. In the attached dstat output, I copied 3.4GB between two eSATA HDD. It started off fast (as usual), but by the time the copy finished the dialog was showing about 5.5MB/s.
I'll look into it more later today. ** Attachment added: "dstat.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26910849/dstat.txt -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
