I remote-controlled Amar's computer and did the requested testing. My benchmark was transferring two 350 mb avi files onto a 1 gib USB 2.0 key (this key is not the only one affected).
I did the testing using plain nautilus drag and drop, cp, and gvfs-copy. nautilus = 15 mins time cp: 3m21.337s time gvfs-copy: 11m39.413s We can assume the difference between gvfs' copy operation and the one done by cp in a terminal to be significant. Observing nautilus' behavior, it started at 7-9 mb/s, then gradually dropped speed over time and stabilized at 950 kb/s. -- file transfer on USB disk slows down with gvfs 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
