Tested transfer rates from partition to partition on 2.6.27-7-generic kernel. GUI copy starts at 10 Mb/s and then goes down to 6-7 Mb/s and stay. dd from console is a bit faster, starts at 40+ Mb/s and slowly goes down to 13 Mb/s at the end with 14 Gb file. The first Gb of data transfers pretty fast with dd.
$ dd if=test.file of=/media/disk/test.file bs=8M 1716+1 records in 1716+1 records out 14396870774 bytes (14 GB) copied, 1087.35 s, 13.2 MB/s $ uname -r 2.6.27-7-generic The same as on 2.6.27-11-generic kernel. -- 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
