Have you by any chance rolled your own kernel? There is an option in more recent 2.6 kernels, something along the lines of "low speed USB storage" or something like that, which causes that type of behaviour.

Just a guess...

I will definitely agree with you on ***SLOW*** usb transferts.

I have had the same problem through all of the (Open)SUSE 10 versions (both with both default and homemade kernels) that I have tested (on two different computers).

I figured that it might be more related to the type of pendrive, because no one else seems to have noticed. My pendrive is a Crucial Gizmo! 1GB.

It is so slow that I have to boot into Windows some times (when I don't have the time to copy my files to my pendrive in the mornings) so that I won't be late for work ;)

Other than that I get around the slow transfert rates my copying files across the network via scp.

I Dunno James, I haven't tried the pendrive on 10 yet. I just installed it last night. On 9.3, my kingston datatraveler 1GB drive is fast as lightning. I will try it on 10.0 tonight and report back. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
