I reported the bug to linux-...@vger.kernel.org. This is the answer I had:
"Are you sure you just aren't hitting the issue that once the kernel buffers are full, they then write out to the device itself? Doing speed tests without disabling buffering, and making sure that the FAT flush option is enabled, is not a good idea at all. Lots of USB flash devices, including older ones like this one, were quite slow. > DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 > > Package: > linux-image-3.2.0-32-generic 3.2.0-32.51 As you are using a distro, please work with them on this issue, there's nothing that we can directly do about it. thanks," Does someone know how to disable buffering or to make sure that FAT flush option is enabled?
