Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.38
USB storage devices will start at a 20MB/s transfer and after a few
seconds (250MB ~ 300MB), it will slow down to under 1MB/s.
Steps to reproduce:
Insert any USB Hard Drive or Stick to a computer running Ubuntu Natty Narwhal
and start to copy a file, bigger than 500MB, from computer to USB storage
device. After a few seconds at USB 2.0 speed, it will slow down to USB 1.0/1.1
speed.
Dmesg output will report several ehci_hcd resets, followed by several
I/O errors. After a couple of minutes, a loop with ehci_hcd resets and
I/O error messages returns to dmesg output and the remaining data will
be writen at less then 500KB/s, eventually aborting the process with a
fatal error.
Tested it a dozen times, with 2 500GB Hard Drives on 5 different USB cables and
with 2 8GB USB Sticks.
All cables are working flawlessly and all storage devices were formatted with
no error or bad blocks.
