geoffrey@blackbox:~$ uname -v #201210220428 SMP Mon Oct 22 08:29:33 UTC 2012 I then repeated the same copy, 1.5G to USB2 stick and timed it: 6 minutes. So no change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071708 Title: Copying to a USB device is extremely slow.
