Hello, I have noticed that writing to a usb drive is "slow".
What does "slow" mean? It means that compared to other OS's. Which OS's? Yes, it hurts: the penguin. Information: The external drive has been formated as ext2, so that I can mount it with obsd and the penguin Copying some 72G takes ~ 2hours on the penguin and some... 10 hours or more This is obsd -current snapshot of 12 Jan, i386 Actually it's even worse I start the copying of those 72G before I go to bed Then the system freezes ctrl+alt+f1 to get a console does nothing ctrl + alt + backspace does nothing Sounds like an APCI problem? It feels like USB 1 or worse _and_ the system freezes You can of course blame the device, but I have had the same speed problem on a number of devices You can now stone me, call me stupid, tell me that I have stated that linux gives free blowjobs, that I am a dumbass etc etc etc... it's fine, go for it but after that, please try to copy to an extermal drive some 3G with linux and obsd and tell me the difference. I am all against linux, I love obsd, I have obsd as my main production system, I buy the CDs at each release ... and I know this is misc and not exactly the most friendly place of the world I am simply asking: Has anybody else noticed this or am I the only one on the face of the world with this problem? Any (positive, polite) comment will be very much appreciated. T.
