Hello.  I just upgraded to Ibex 64 bit and still have this problem.
Transfer speeds are typically 7-8 MB/s between drives.  Really annoying.
Both drives are ext3, mounted with noatime,nodiratime.  I did NOT have
this problem with Ibex 32 bit.  Write caches are both enabled, and the
problem is only when moving files sda => sdb, not the other way around.
