I had been a bit lazy about updates, so I let Ubuntu do its thing today, which included a new kernel. According to uname it is now 5.4.0-72-generic #80-Ubuntu. The updated kernel definitely made changes to the way exFAT works. I used to get instant file transfers half the time, now every single write activity takes two to five *minutes*. I can't believe Ubuntu released this disaster. I can't even get anything done. This is ridiculous. I'm going to have to nuke exFAT on this USB stick. At the moment I'm using it only for small audio files, but I want to move them to my phone, so ext* won't work. I'll just format it FAT32. OK, it's not possible that Ubuntu did this. There must be something about my computer that is causing the problem. I thought it might be the GUI file manager, but I have four installed and it happens with all of them, and with the command line as well. What a PITA.
