My problem is that USB is slow as hell especially when reading files from external USB drive and FAT32 filesystem (3,5MB/s max)- tested with FreeBSD 6.1 p11 and 6.2 p3. From same drive with NTFS filesystem I have read speed up to 5MB/s but unable to read files over 4GB size- only first 300MB is read and then silently dropped- no error message or whatsoever (I guess this is related to FreeBSD filesystem layer not USB) but with same drive I can read/write both filesystems up to 13MB/s in Windows XP SP2- 4GB files are read without any problem. Interesting that with UFS2 filesystem I got same speed as in windows under FreeBSD. Anyone have clue how can I debug what is wrong? _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
