My setup: 16.04 xenial, Kernel : Linux 4.4.0-67-generic I agree it may be two different issues. Since two weeks I have having a related problem, although it is no the stuttering/freezing of the system mentioned in #45 (issue 1) while copying files. No crashing when copying files, just slowness and it never used to be a problem. It started when I was copying a few large files together and continued to affect this external hd since then.
At some point copying relatively small files (say 700 mg files) to and from my WD elements 1TB external drive (even one file at the time) became incredibly slow. It is not that at some point the bar goes slower as in some versions where at 99% is seems to slow to a trickle. It is just slow from the start and continues to be slow till the end. It is somehow related to this particular external drive since I tried other drives and they work just fine. I checked it on a Windows and again it works fine so there is no physical problem with the drive itself. I tried to delete the files, thinking that's what it is all about, but I am still left with the same issue. It is a mess. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208993 Title: Ubuntu slows down and hangs while copying file from/to USB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1208993/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
