I did some research and this is a duplicate of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001579 Also it's not a nautilus problem, it's the kernel and how it transfers files. You can mount the drive you want to write to with the -o sync option and that will write all data directly to the drive, so that the file reporting is accurate, though it is slower and can cause premature ageing in solid state devices. Still affecting: 3.13.0-33-generic (Ubuntu 14.04) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1131858 Title: file operations window hangs after completion of file transfer to FAT file system from ext4 file system Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using 12.04 and attempting to drag-and-drop a large file from my Downloads folder to a USB thumb drive, the File Operations window displays a full progress bar and the text "777.9 MB of 777.9 MB". This dialog box hangs for about five minutes, during which time I ran 'ubuntu-bug nautilus' in the hopes that the problem details were captured. This bug seems identical to bug 612076 in 10.04 which was closed due to inactivity.
