"noatime, nodirtime" hasn't improved the situation on my PC much, if at all. Copying speed is still all over the place, one time it'll copy fine, the next it stalls every couple of megabytes, blocking file i/o to any other device connected to the system and stalling the gui.
I've noticed that it affects devices differently. The following are listed in order of most likely stall to least likely: network file transfers, my collection of USB flash drives, 1" USB HDD, 3.5" USB HDD. Maybe it's device speed related? For those trying to escalate the problem, I hit a brick wall last year trying to do the same. I was basically told to give it up because it's going to take a kernel developer who has been afflicted by the bug, and who notices it, to fix it. Well, that, and I don't know the secret handshake that gets things done... -- file transfers on USB disk are very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
