Am trying upstream kernel v4.20-rc4 (2e6e902d185027f8e3cb8b7305238f7e35d6a436).
Not easy for a newbie because your link does not include the order in which the modules have to be installed. Downloaded the low-latency (whatever that means) packages and managed to boot the new kernel. It seems less slow (glacial speeds rather than continental drift speeds). I realize copying 3TB of data will take some time (two days 4TB to 4TB as opposed to two months 4TB to 8TB). Am copying just one directory (about 100.9GB from 4TB to 8TB) to see how many days it takes. I am using the Terminal copy command since Caja is 3x slower. Cannot yet say if fixed or not - time will tell. Getting properties on folder in a 4TB drive is much faster than getting properties of same folder in a 8TB drive - so something is still wonky. You say "If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'." How? I see buttons to add attachment but nothing on how to add tag. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1802821 Title: Serious design flaw using large external drives.
