I have tried to eliminate using a swapfile (as is default since Ubuntu 18.10) instead of a swap partition. Results are as follows:
Using a swap partition (10GB) instead of a swapfile seems to increase dd's writespeeds with about 10% and seems to decrease the amount of stutter and lag, but doesn't completely stop it from happening. Again, doing a swapoff seems to completely eliminate the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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/linux/+bug/1208993/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
