ok, just for the record: removed the "ub" module from the kernel and now I copied the same 698MB file in one and a half minutes! great. thanks a lot, another problem solved. linux rocks. roberto On 9/25/05, John covici <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I don't know of that the kernel is faster if you don'

yeah, I found this: (here: http://www.lugod.org/mailinglists/archives/vox-tech/2005-08/msg00024.html) To blacklist a module I believe you just add it to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.  But in the case of ub vs. usb-storage, simply blacklisting or hiding the ub module won't do.  You actually have to rebuil

I don't know of that the kernel is faster if you don't use modules, I seriously doubt its true and for your case it would work much better -- the module is only loaded once and then its in memory. on Sunday 09/25/2005 Roberto Winter([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote > yeah, I found this: (here: > http://

Hi! Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. First of all I do have hci-hcd, ehci-hcd, and usb-storage compiled in the kernel. Not as modules though, but that doesn't make a difference. The thing is that I also hav UB compiled and it is not a module, so I can't simply unload it. Is there a way to tell th

OK, possibly stupid question -- how do I prevent that driver from being used when the hot plug subsystem would normally use it -- and if I do prevent that will I mount /dev/sda,b,c ... instead? I have not noticed a slowdown, but I didn't test very much either. on Sunday 09/25/2005 Hendrik Sattl

Hi there, I have been looking around to solve this, but no one else seems to have had any similar roblems. The thing is that I have an external hard drive and it takes forever to copy files from/to it. Since it is USB2 there is something awfully wrong. I tested it on macosx and windoze and it work
