My pci=routeirq helped, but didn't turn out to be everything I hoped for. I can get away with copying a few GB of files now before the slowdown sets in, but it's still happening. The pattern is slightly different with this tweak however, since it seems to be copying fine for a certain number of files, then it'll start on the next file and the slowdown will start.
If this issue isn't related to gvfs, then shouldn't it be assigned elsewhere? It'd be nice if we could narrow down exactly which package was causing this. My vote at the moment is the kernel because of the improvement I've experienced from changing the boot options, but I'm hardly qualified. -- 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 Desktop Bugs, which is the registrant for gvfs. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
