[Bug 197762] Re: file transfer on USB disk slows down with gvfs
I have the same problem with a P4 2.4, 1 GB RAM, tested on all the onboard (Gigabyte 8PE667 Ultra) USB ports (all of them are 2.0). Tested loading and unloading ehci-hcd. Perhaps this happens due some kind of software uptate. I didn't had this problem a month ago. I have Ubuntu 8.10 and with the previous version I had no problem with USB drives.

[Bug 197762] Re: file transfer on USB disk slows down with gvfs
I want to confirm the problem and add some info that I did not see here: 1 - Problem occurs not only with usb/ehci-hcd, using a internal card reader (sdhci-pci) results in same slowdown 2 - It is not dependent on file-system: same speed with ext3 or vfat 3 - The problem is random, sometimes it is very slow ( 1MB/s) and sometimes just slow (~2 MB/s) 4 - Using pci=routeirq AND noapic seems to increase speed a for smaller files (10MB/s with a 300MB file and 1MB/s with a 700MB file) 4.1) I tried both boot configs separated and nothing changed 4.2) I did not repeat tests extensively to be sure this is a consistent or random behavior 5 - No relevant dmesg messages loading modules and during or after transfer I don't know how those data transfers are ran by the kernel, but it seems to be a very low-level problem.

Sorry to add more spam to this list but I at least want to log the issue with my sw/hw configuration.

I decided to copy the image to an SD card in my media slot.

Hi. This problem is also present on my machine, Asus K8N4-E SE, AMD Sempron 2800+. Copying 4 GB of data to an 8 GB USB stick takes around 45 minutes, with Windows (on the same computer) it takes 6 minutes. The data transfer starts very fast until about 75 MB's are completed, then it appears to pause for quite some time (LED in the USB stick does not flash) and then continue for a few MB, pause again and so forth.

[Bug 197762] Re: file transfer on USB disk slows down with gvfs
I never got around to reinstalling. Rather than waste any more time on this, I've moved on to the 8.10 beta. File copying is improved on my system, but it's still not working reliably. I've been copying some data (about 30GB for each test) from my local USB drive to the my network server and I'm still experiencing a gradual slowdown over time, however it's taking a lot longer to slow down than it did under Hardy, and instead of locking the whole computer up for the duration, only file access is being periodically blocked. Any applications that were open prior to when the copy commenced remain usable. Overall, the experience is still highly erratic, sometimes a copy works at full speed, sometimes it stalls. It's a lot better than it was though. -- 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

Savvas Radević, there's nothing to post, nothing is added to dmesg other than the usual USB messages when plugging it in. This is the reason why it's attached to gvfs even though nobody is sure what is causing it. I tried formatting my laptop yet again and stuck on the new Hardy .1 release. It's been more stable, maintaining higher speeds without the boot option. Maybe it's a configuration issue during the install? I'm going to try formatting my desktop machine again to see if I can get any improvement, but first I'll need to do a full backup and that's going to take a while...

I can confirm that this affects also Intel G965 and P35 chipsets whit Lacie USB2 hard-drives. Almost allways the speed is 3-6 MB/s but sometimes it works in full speed 30 MB/s. I've attached a screenshot where I first transferred one file to the usb2-drive with average speed over 30 MB/s and after 15 minutes when I tried to transfer different file to the drive the transfer speed was only about 3 MB/s. I think that this is a lot more worse bug than our developers think because making backups is getting too slow. Also the pci=routeirq did not help for me and this affects both nautilus and cp transfer from command line. ** Attachment added: Kuvakaappaus-1.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16892873/Kuvakaappaus-1.png -- 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

Re: [Bug 197762] Re: file transfer on USB disk slows down with gvfs
I agree that this should be assigned to the kernel, as I can't see what other package could affect write speeds using dd. dd is low level, has nothing to do with gfs. My guess is it's the kernel, or whatever sits between dd and the kernel. (Is there even something there?)

I have a Dell Inspiron E1405. This bug is present both when writing to my SD card and to my USB SD card reader. Different cards yield the same results, and it works fine/full-speed on Windows. For me, this bus is very pronounced. When writing any file over about 100MB, the speed suddenly drops off to under 100KB/sec, where it remains for the rest of the transfer (starting from normal speeds of 15MB/sec). pci=routeirq does NOT work for me (neither the built-in nor USB card- reader behave correctly after reboot/kernel refresh). This bug is critical. I've also replicated it on my old Toshiba laptop exactly.

[Bug 197762] Re: file transfer on USB disk slows down with gvfs
I seem to have happened upon a solution. I added pci=routeirq to the grub boot options and I got my USB and network performance back, and the GUI is actually *usable* while copying files too I haven't run extensive tests, but I've been able to copy simultaneously over the network and to two USB devices at the same time with the transfer speed remaining constant, near the speed that I've been expecting (for so long), and I've done that repeatedly. That simply was impossible previously. Over time I checked for this problem on three computers, and found it on all of them. Coincidentally, the three affected computers are all dual core AMD systems no more than 18 months old running various nVidia chipsets from various manufacturers. This problem needs to be investigated because I can't be so unlucky as to have seen this bug so often and yet have the bug be one that only some people get. Many more users out there must be experiencing this on a daily basis and thinking that Ubuntu can't copy files properly, not realising that there's something wrong, and getting more and more frustrated, as I have been. -- 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

[Bug 197762] Re: file transfer on USB disk slows down with gvfs
I'm going to add a bit more that might be useful because this bug is driving me crazy. It affects both my systems, one a laptop, the other a brand new desktop I purchased two weeks ago and is happening on both USB and network file transfers (via either Samba or UFS to my NAS box). I've also been experiencing occasional degraded GUI performance if I let a very large file copy (three GB or more) continue. My PC would gradually become un- responsive to the point that mouse clicks and key presses took seconds to be recognised and windows were being redrawn in slow motion. All the while, system monitor showed that both CPU's were nearly idle. When I closed the file copy window, performance returned to normal and there were no dmesg errors. For anyone experiencing the problem, there's a kind of workaround that some people have had luck with (myself included). Try copying one file at a time and then pausing between each one to let the cache empty out, (since writing appears continue long after the copy dialog has closed). On USB devices in particular, try unmounting and re-mounting between files to make sure the file you are working on is really finished. Obviously, this is only going to work if you are copying a few large files around. If you have lots of small files to move, then zip them up before copying them and you might get lucky. -- 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

I think this has to do with problems with ehci-hcd, maybe in connection with particular kernels and or motherboards and or chipsets... not sure.

I confirm this issue with a fersh new Hardy install, usb file transfer has always been fine with the previous Hardy distros, so it must probably be a gvfs related issue. -- 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

[Bug 197762] Re: file transfer on USB disk slows down with gvfs
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.

still not confirming this behaviour on different installation and nobody else opened bug about similar issues, that seems to be specific to your configuration and would require debugging by somebody having the issue, you might want to open a bug on bugzilla about that, upstream might have better ideas on the topic -- 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 a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

note that the *original* report is not entirely accurate anymore. The speed is not in kb/s now, but it is around 4mb/s while it began at 7-9. So, the speed is not as excruciatingly slow as before, but a noticeable drop in performance can be seen nonetheless. -- 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 a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I remote-controlled Amar's computer and did the requested testing. My benchmark was transferring two 350 mb avi files onto a 1 gib USB 2.0 key (this key is not the only one affected). I did the testing using plain nautilus drag and drop, cp, and gvfs-copy. nautilus = 15 mins time cp: 3m21.337s time gvfs-copy: 11m39.413s We can assume the difference between gvfs' copy operation and the one done by cp in a terminal to be significant. Observing nautilus' behavior, it started at 7-9 mb/s, then gradually dropped speed over time and stabilized at 950 kb/s. -- 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 a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
