Title:
file transfer in nautilus slows grossly over a couple of minutes
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have found that kswapd0 is running at 100%. If i run ' echo 3 >
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' the transfer of data improves but not to initial
levels. If that is not done more than a few times the system eventually grinds
to a halt and reboot is required. The file transfer is usually between external
usb drives. Beginning of xfer speeds are usually 17 - 20 mbit but will slow to
less than 1mbit. This hasn't previously been a problem but i have tried
rebooting with 3 or 4 older kernels and same problem exists. Older kernels wont
start for some reason ! That timing coincides with a new graphics board i
installed. Not relevant to the issue but may explain earlier than .30 kernels
not allowing me to login ! As it is the system is unusable for any major file
transfers. I have been patching all relevant patches on to my system which is
running 16.10
