I rebooted. Even after my "copy" finished the laptop wasn't behaving well. It had been isolated from all networks but when I connected up a cat5 cable so I could provide the above lspci output, it would not grab a IP via DHCP. After reboot I was able to get the cat5 cable to work with no issue.
A large copy job, specially over USB, exhausts about the entire RAM for cache usage, making the entire system crawl (specially so if it swaps). Also any other i/o is starved of cache. Quite peculiar. That's why Andrei asks about the "oflag=direct" thing, I guess. You can make your machine more responsive, somewhat, by using ionice with iddle priority on the culprit process. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
