noatime & nodiratime will not make any noticeable difference for the transfer of just 1 big file, and a lot of people here reported that symptom... Besides that the problem arises with non-ext volumes too. I don't know if is just coincidence or luck, but I had this problem with my 64 bits system, I reinstalled Ubuntu and replaced with the 32 bits version and the problem is gone... Now I can achieve stable 10+ MB/s with my pen drive and 20+ MB/s with my usb sata disk. Just in case it is useful: $ uname -a Linux vs-note 2.6.27-10-generic #1 SMP Fri Nov 21 12:00:22 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux -- 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
