Maybe this helps: I read on some forum while I was searching for an answer about the slow write speed on my usb stick (transf speed dropped quickly from 20 MB/s to 100KB/s) that maybe kde is responsible for this. first I ignored this, but I have just tried it.
I logged out of my regular KDE session, logged in fluxbox, mounted stick by hand, since its not automounted, using only defaults options: $mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdcX /mnt/stick $mount /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/stick type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) Then I started copying my file ~4.4GB. speed stabilized at 13MB/s The whole copy process would have taken about 5 minutes, if I hadn't changed the file manager to kde during the last 30 sec. Guess what -> speed dropped , it is still copying ETA 25 sec -- dd extremely slow writing to usb key without oflag=dsync https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392288 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
