I am also experiencing very slow rates while transferring big files. When I copy a file to my USB storage device, it starts transferring with 30 MB/s and drops to 1 MB/s, which is really annoying, scince I don't want to boot to Windows 7 every time I want to copy something to my USB stick.
I don't know what information I should include into this post, so I am going to post the result of the following command: uname -a Linux p-ubuntu 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- Slow USB transfer for FAT32 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392089 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
