Staples "Relay (tm)" 4 Gb USB sticks - slow or normal (lenny)?
I keep one copy of my latest backup on usb sticks that I keep in my
pack. Yesterday, I recreated it. It's an ext2 ptn:
/dev/sdb1 on /media/usb0 type ext2 (rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime)
That happens when I plug it in (udev?).
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2009-05-20 22:55 /media/sdb1/
I plugged it in at 17:13, started the copy minutes later, and it took
until 03:43 to finish, which is pretty sucky. CD copies take like ten
minutes.

Is it just that usb's slow, or is the box doing it wrong? Is it my
preference for ext2? I've tried w both usb hubs and directly into
laptop; same, same.
This's on a HP Pavilion dv4 AMD-64.
