I don't know about Kevin, but for me some USB flash drives become slower at writing of large files, when converted from factory formatted FAT to ext3. It is as if the flash translation layer in the USB drive was optimised for FAT. Adjusting the starting position of the partition can do this as well. ext3 also has this journal thing, which presumably increases the number of writes. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
