I used to try to unmount the usb media (e.g. "eject" using Nautilus file manager), and got a message stating the filesystem was in use and could not be mounted, so always answered to not eject it until it was unmounted without any warning... does it make sense? > But 12 > minutes is really long, did anything else change in your userspace > between the kernel changes as well? I am not sure if I understand correctly the "userspace" you mention: if you mean my home directory and contents, settings etc, then yes, maybe... but while I am doing the tests I am quite sure I didn't change anything, and double-checked many times that the 4.20 kernel is always working (I usually boot up with it when I need to do the usual day work). Thank you for any further explanation, Bye Andrea
