[Bug 500069] Re: USB file transfer causes system freezes; ops take hours instead of minutes

 

Still not fixed under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64 at least, even with the
latest kernel....

Linux damir-macbook 3.13.0-45-generic #74~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 15
20:21:55 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Writing to a 16GB USB 2.0 stick (NTFS) goes at ~17MB/s while under Windows (same amount, machine, stick, everything) goes at 30+MB/s....
