Hi,
My desktop is the "Workstation Edition" and I use the files menu with copy and
paste. In the case of interest (F26) the first 1.5 GB are copied very quickly (about
100MB/sec) then the copying process slows down to about 11MB/sec. After signalling
completion I have to wait about 4 minutes untill I am allowed to eject. If this is normal,
then OK, if not, possibly I should file a bug.
Kind regards

I don't think it's "standard behaviour", no. I think quite a lot of
file managers only copy synchronously, to avoid exactly this confusion.
It would help if Joerg specified which desktop / file manager he's
using?
Ok, then it used to be standard behaviour and I haven't paid attention
to it since then. :-) I will have to try it out, but I thought I saw
this with nautilus recently._______________________________________________test mailing
