Could be the same issue I had with external USB disk since 12.1. Check the file /opt/kde3/share/config/udisks-glue.conf Try removing automount_options = { sync, noatime } In my case it helped. (sync option causes syncing after each write).

YES! I removed the line in my file, logged out/in, and tried the test transfer again. Right away it started at 6mb/s, ranging up to 7, a real difference from the previous, abysmal 100k/s. Thanks muchly, Mark!
Ilya, it's obvious that something in a KDE3 implementation installs this /opt/kde3/share/config/udisks-glue.conf file. Can you amend it to delete the offending line, if that's the "proper" fix for slow USB transfer speeds?
It seems that the 6 Mb/s speed that you see in onther software is not the real device tranfer rate but the transfer rate to the cache. When sync option is on, you see the real transfer rate. Note that even if you see the 6 Mb/s transfer rate reported, you in reality cannot unplug the device before all the data is written with real speed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
