I have recently upgraded from 9.1 to 10.0 OSS, and am enjoying the new version. However, there's one oddity. I have two USB mass-storage devices (one flash-card reader and one MP3 player) and both are now running very much more slowly when transferring files than they used to under 9.1. Is it likely that my system is now running only at USB1 speeds rather than USB2? What's the best tool for checking this with? Any other ideas? It's currently taking an hour or more to fill a 64MB flash card so you can imagine what's happening with the 512MB mp3 player!

Known problem. Please check with the archives.

This is because someone at SUSE decided to "improve" things and mount the drive "sync". Manually mount the drive without sync and the speed will improve tremendously. There is a fix of limit value available.
