[Bug 1728053] Re: Copy to USB is very slow
this is apparently also a problem in Bionic-Beaver. I started a file copy 7,633 files to a new USB stick (SSD to USB 3.1). The copy started out like I expected, at a displayed rate of about 345MB/s. By the time, it reached roughly 1/2 the copy began to slow and before long, it was down to about 34MB/s. This is after recovering from a very similar issue Friday (last). Where in, it slowed even further, down to 1.2MB/s. I did the research over the weekend, and found reports, very similar to this one, attributing the issues to the Nautilus FS. I also found that Ubuntu 18.04 chose to not update Nautilus, but rather stayed with a previous version. lsb_release -a gives No LSB modules are available.

Not sure if there is anything more that I can provide. Oh,a colleague with whom I was sharing these files, was able to upload them (after my laborious download) onto his ubuntu 18.04 in like 20 seconds or so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728053 Title: Copy to USB is very slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1728053/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Comment # 4 on bug 789647 from Ondrej Holy from bugzilla.gnome.org: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789647 "Thanks for your reply. If "cp" is also so slow, then the bug is not in GNOME layer. It is probably something wrong in kernel..." ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #789647 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789647 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728053 Title: Copy to USB is very slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1728053/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
