Hi, I'm using the g_file_storage module to make a block device /dev/sdc out of another block device I have as a backing store. I was pleased with the functionality of the module, but unfortunately it's quite a bit slower than I expected. g_file_storage seems to top out at around 3MB/sec at reads, and 6MB/sec at writes.
Is it possible to speed this up at all? I am not using the module to test USB hardware, but as a glorified loopback device, so ideally getting the full speed of the backing device would be what I want. Does the dummy_hcd module only support full speed (11mbps)? Thanks, Joshua Oh, and if you're curious, the reason I'm using 'g_file_storage' to make a loopback block device instead of 'loop' is to route around a stupid and unnecessary limitation in vmware -- it won't let you use devices that /aren't/ /dev/[hs]d* as a disk for a VM. And with g_file_storage, it works, successfully, it is just too slow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
