After a standard install of KDE3 Factory, USB transfer to a USB2 stick are (e.g.,) 100K/sec. Removing the "automount_options = { sync, noatime }" line in /opt/kde3/share/config/udisks-glue.conf file, and logging out/in or rebooting, increases transfers to 7-8 mb/sec or more - a normal expectation. This situation and solution has existed since at least 12.2. If this is not a KDE 3 issue, I will put in a report on Bugzilla.  Please advise. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
