My kernel is 4.18.16-200.fc28.x86_64
I just copied a 3GB iso to a FAT32 partition:
real 2m6.738s
Copying to EXT4 and syncing took almost 3 mins.
So I don't see this problem with my laptop.
Check the mount options, maybe there is something like sync set,
although it still shouldn't take that long.
Try running "iostat 5" while it's copying to see how much I/O is happening.
Thank you!
