Thanks again for the feedback, Jonathan!
Instead of getting around 4Mb/sec, I now get around 20Mb/sec (according to hdparm -tT) and have been able to copy several gigabytes of data to the USB 2.0 HDD without it hanging the system. No longer is there there the situation where there is some data transfer, a delay, then a hang - although the system will hang under particular circumstances.
Matches what I've seen too, except I didn't see hangs (2.5). Only a case where ep*in-bulk reads were curiously not happening; a few more clues are lurking, but I won't have time to get back to that for a while. Since SCSI times things out, usb-storage should be OK (although on occasion painfully slow).
It's unbelievable how close this is to working properly, this is perhaps
the most effective update yet.
The update wouldn't have worked so well without the others! That 20 MByte/sec number, even on 2.4, surprised me; it's rare to find speedups of 4-5x. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
