I have a usb-3 to sata adapter with a 60GB ssd attached plugged into one of the usb-2 ports of a raspi 3b. I just moved a 150 megabyte zip file containing the 750 megabyte sources for an rt kernel to it, got decent speed doing the copy.
ssh'd into the pi, I asked mc to uppack it, took several minutes. When mc finally displayed the root dir of the data in the zip, I set it to the task of copying it to the ssd. The speed slowly decayed and after around 700k has been copied, the speed is now just over 112 bytes a second, with an ETA of nearly 2000 hours. Well into August to complete at this rate. Does anyone have a clue where the blockage for data might be? This is from that drive, to that drive. htop is showing perhaps 1 megabyte of swap being used. ???????? Thanks everybody.
