Hi all,
I've just noticed that cp a 100M to a USB (2.0) device and umount it takes a rather long time! Up to 5+ minutes. Of course it could be the device itself. But there is degradation since last night. Anybody notice this or something similar?

Maybe the 100MB file wasn't copied immediately, so when you unmount it has to wait for cp to finish?

I understand that. But it should take nowhere near what's taking now. Running 'sync' manually takes a long time as well.

Have you tried with a different USB drive?

Just tried another USB key and it's much faster. Under 2 min for the same file.
