@elatllat The Developers don't have a 600MB of files and a common USB drive on hand to test transfer speed? The issue causes programs like Banshee and Rythmbox to force close because the system believes their is an issue if you try to transfer an entire library of music or video to a media device. So it isn't just messing with USB drives acting as part of the file sytem but also effecting devices using MTP.
Its easily reproduced but impossible to test and log for the normal user. FAT32 suffers the most significantly, but the results are reproducible with EXT2 and NTFS. It's hard to benchmark for many users. They don't have the time to sit and watch 1GB of data not do anything for 6 hours. They need their PC to be usable. Even when this bug was first reported it was pretty common for people to have large files. The issue is clearly there, and has been ignored up til recently, and is only now being looked at because of Ubuntu's move from using 700MB CDs to using USB drives as a installation medium. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500069 Title: USB file transfer causes system freezes; ops take hours instead of minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/500069/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
