It worked without any tweaks on my side too, once I updated Fedora 31 to
the latest kernel that is 5.5, I was using 5.3.

I doubt this is going to be fixed upstream.This feature was put
into the kernel sometime prior to 2004, and the first version was set
even higher than 20%. And this becomes less of an issue if you have
enough ram that you can give up the 20% of ram.

the "cache" is in memory. My original reason for setting it was I did
usbstick and usb-sd cards, and both of those are really slow, and i
also did not have a lot of ram in those laptops such that an
additional 20% of memory going for writecache also made the system
page horribly.
Ed: How much ram
I have some good news.
The workaround :
vm.dirty_background_bytes = 300
vm.dirty_bytes = 500
worked wonders for me.
I can now copy and watch YouTube at the same time.
Thank you and hoped this is fixed in upstream soon.

I don't think it is I missing the point. I already informed you of my system's
configuration. So, I found

No, you are missing the point. The kernel needs to be on HDD, or rather the
cache used by the kernel needs to be on the HDD.
Anyways, can you tell me if Fedora 31 uses the BFQ scheduler by default now
?
Because thats what I am reading here:

Well, as I said, the HDD is "an old laptop HDD in a USB 2.0 enclosure".
So, I would be doing USB-Flash--->USB HDD.
Is that what you would be interested in?

Please dont use an SSD.
You are not testing correctly.

To have the issue it helps to have the reading disk be a quite a bit
faster than the receiving disk that way the reading disk can easily
get ahead and fill up the write cache faster than the reading disk can
process it (it backs up into the writecache).
So USB3.0 3.5-7200rpm or an SSD will easily

I have never seen nice have any useful IO throttling effect (unless
you are using 100% of your cpu with non-niced processes that is), so
for exactly the reason you say, it takes very little cpu to do a
massive amount of IO, so nice won't work.
There are some kernel knobs that will control IO but t
Mine aren't missing a 0, I divided wrong and added a 0, so I am using
5MB and 3MB, which would leave my spread at 2MB or at say 100MB/sec
1/50sec. It has been a long time since I set them and my system works
decent during copying.

That doesn't help. There's no lack of CPU time and I don't think
process priority has any effect on IO priority.

I think you're missing a zero. If those are your actual numbers, you
have a very small buffer. Even with your numbers that seems a little small.

These are what I set:
vm.dirty_background_bytes = 300
vm.dirty_bytes = 500
That limits the to-be-written bytes to 50Mb, and when it hits 50MB it
will clear the write cache down to 30MB and let writes happen again.
Since 20MB of writes happens pretty fast on modern HD's this makes

Well, the ubuntu bug had suggested sysctl settings, but I've
mostly ignored it since I don't have to copy big files that often,
so I don't know how well the ubuntu suggestions work.

Marvelous.
So now what do we do ?

I don't know why, but I've noticed it as well. It wasn't always this
way, but a few fedora versions ago it changed. I always figured some
kernel developer got a bee in his bonnet about some disk copying
benchmark
I have just installed the latest version of Fedora Gnome on my HP laptop. I
had to import a 50 GB OVA file from my USB HDD to my hard drive via USB 3.0.
When the copying was taking place through VirtualBox, the system hung
almost completely, I was not able to even move my mouse.
