Hi, I have a similar problem here as well, doesn't udev control the options to the mounted usb device.
I just created a 1G file and copied via terminal to a usb2 drive This was the timing results
real 4m27.082s
user 0m0.006s
sys 0m1.825s
When doing this via Thunar it starts off well and then seems to pause for quite a while.
How do we see the transfer rate in thunar ?
File system on usb device is
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 2048 31266815 15632384 b W95 FAT32
Tried a direct write of a 1G file to the usb2 drive and this is the result
1024000000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 271.299 s, 3.8 MB/s
4.5 minuses so dd was faster than the copy reported transfer rate is 3.8 MB/s (What are we expecting to achieve though ? / at least to match windoze transfer rate)
Replugged the usb device and it is using ehci
usb 2-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 49 using ehci-pci
Modules report
ehci_hcd 39275 1 ehci_pci
Regards

Yeah, writing to NTFS drives in Linux is really fscking slow. I recommend reformatting the drive to exfat, which does handle large files.

Errr, I don't know exactly how to do that *feels dumb*
Gonna try exfat, thanks
EDIT: btw with noatime it stabilized at 2,1 Mb/s. Kinda sucks but way better than before (less than 1Mb/s).

Try something like
Code:
mkinitrd -c -k 3.10.17 -f ext4 -r /dev/sda4 -m usbhid:ehci-hcd:ehci-pci:ohci-hcd:xhci-hcd:jbd2:mbcache:ext4 -l br-abnt2 -u -o /boot/initrd-3.10.17.gz
My own is a bit more elaborated but this must do as an example.
By the way if the problem is bad module ordering, changing filesystem will not help you.

Hi
Tried the same file in windows today and transfer rate sat between 25.5 and 28.2 MB, guess windows is just faster in some areas ;-(
