Hi group, I'm a bit confused. I can't seem to find any good information, not on the NSLU2-linux wiki and not using google, although I might be missing something obvious...
The usb2 port should be capable of high-speed communications and my usb disk is capable of 30+ Mb/s transfer rates when I attach it to my laptop. However, on my NSLU2, hdparm -t /dev/sda gives me about 8 Mb/s and dd if=/dev/zero of=test.out bs=1000000 count=120 or something like that gives me 10 Mb/s read and write. Especially when I use dd I see that the CPU usage is very high. A bit of 'wait', a bit of 'user', lots of 'sys'. Why is that? What's the kernel doing? I know, it's only got 266 Mhz, but still... Is there a way to make it go faster? Or at least please help me understand why this cannot be... Thanks! David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
