I can confirm I have the exact same problem with Ubuntu 8.04. Many users complain about the same issue, from what I could see on internet. Whatever the USB device I use (USB stick or external hard-disk plugged as USB storage), all my USB 2.0 devices (and recognized as such in syslog or messages files) run extremely slow (actually, it's basically USB 1.0 speed) after some 10 seconds. I both use a desktop PC and a Laptop, all of them include USB 2.0 interfaces: copying large files (say >600 MB) with Nautilus or cp lead to the same transfer rate (around 1 Mb/s or less) after a short while on those two PC. When I dual-boot with Win2K or WinXP with the exact same hardware (my laptop and my deskptop PC), the copy runs at the speed of light (compared to Ubuntu).
My hardware is : Laptop: Fujitsu Amilo D7850 (Intel P4 2.8, 512 MB) Desktop : assembled PC with MSI K7N2, AMD Athlon Barton 3000+, 1 GB RAM + Belkin USB 2.0 PCI adapter I just installed Mandriva 2008.1 to give a try and to check if it makes any difference: it makes NO difference. So I suspect a kernel issue. Did anyone facing the same issue try it with another distro ? -- 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
