Ubuntu copy dialogue stops at the last moment for a long time
Whenever I try and copy a file to an USB flash disk, the progress bar runs till the end very fast and stops for an indeterminable time before it is complete.
Is there an issue with ubuntu or my flash disk is what I am not able to figure out. All I want is a realistic copy dialogue
Solution 1:
This is because many filesystems buffer and then when they flush they have to wait for the device to do the actual writing.... Which takes a while.
I don't know that there's a good solution so that you see the actual write speed and progress.
