@Daniel Barrett I have Debian with Liquorix kernel 3.10.X and this always works for me before inserting usb stick:
sudo bash -c 'echo "never" > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled' I just came to this page and was surprised that there was no trace of "THP" or "hugepages", so I added a comment. See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/transhuge.txt for explanation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500069 Title: USB file transfer causes system freezes; ops take hours instead of minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/500069/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
