hi strange, it is too slow even for coping from one partition to another on the same hd. it's look like some hardware isn't configured properly. maybe u should try to manually set one of UDMA mode (max from available, but first try set max UDMA with software) (not PIO). it helps me on feisty and also works nice in gutsy. btw, it works 4 me fine on ext2 as well as on ext3.
also notice, u can have USB2 interface, but not true USB2 speed. btw, it will took some resources while coping from /dev/zero. good luck. -- Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
