Comment 46 for bug 624510

Hi, I created a separate Lucid instance to test your changes. I put it on the external USB drive and then verified I could recreate the problem before I installed the kernel images you provided.

I reran the hdparm command to check the read speeds. The results looked reasonable. I was getting approx 30MB/s. I then tested reading and writing from the external USB drive to the computer's internal hard drive and back again to the external USB drive. Those results too looked reasonable. I was getting approx 30 MB/s both ways. That sure makes moving GB size files less painful!

Will I have to reinstall those kernel images you provided if Canonical pushes out another kernel update for Lucid or will your changes be present in any future kernel updates for Lucid?

Thanks.
