I've downloaded a large file today and needed to move it to my Windows partition. Since it's NTFS, no available FAT32 partitions and mkisofs for some reason messing up the ISO it's supposed to create, I've figured to use my USB stick.
The thing is, it took almost 30 minutes to copy 2 gigabytes, but under Windows, it copied them back to the disk in under two minutes. As there isn't such a crass difference of 14:1 between reads and writes on flash drives, I'm assuming that the ports are set to USB 1.1 (speeds) or something under Solaris, explaining the really low performance. To be sure however, I have to find out, so I can file a bug report about this. Thanks, -mg This message posted from opensolaris.org
