Re: [SLUG] Which fs is best ...

[Rod Butcher]

I found shifting gigabytes of NTFS data on a linux box about the same 
speed as ext3 data i.e. a few minutes for 5 gig. So I wouln't expect 50 
gig to take more than 15 mins. The partitions were on separate drives.

BTW, if anybody knows, is the NTFS linux driver very slow ? It is
taking hours and hours to copy about 50GB of data. I knew it would
take a while, but this is ridiculous.
I have copied about 20gb of data in a very short time - I don't think it 
suffers from any glaring slowness. Perhaps you could try iostat? it 
should show you the throughput - might be some sort of bottleneck there
