I am also experiencing this bug.
Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid
Lenovo ThinkPad T61
OCZ Rally2 4GB flash drive, FAT32
It's taking over 30 minutes just to copy a 500 MB file. I've also tried copying two 1 GB files, and I don't even know how long that's taken. It's crazy. This drive's write speed is higher than average, but even at a slow, average write speed of 5 MB/sec, copying 2 GB should take less than 7 minutes.
I did some digging on Google, and I tried switching the flash drive to the anticipatory I/O scheduler, but it made no difference. I tried using NTFS instead of FAT32, but it made no difference.
This is just plain crazy. I can copy faster (meaning, normal speeds) in Windows or in 8.04 Hardy or in Debian. Something is seriously wrong.
