-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello folks,
I use tar to make (not necessarily incremental) backups of my /etc/*, /home/*, and other important folders. I am encountering a problem: reading a file in a .tgz takes a really long time. I use the Archive Manager GUI (of GNOME) to go through all the folders of my .tgz. My archive is ~5 Gigs. For example, let's say that I want to read my old /etc/fstab in my .tgz. It takes something like 10 min to open it. The external HDD where the .tgz is saved is connected through USB2 (same problem with firewire) and other tasks are performed in a reasonable amount of time. Any ideas? Thanks. - -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iEYEARECAAYFAkruunEACgkQM0LLzLt8Mhz1zQCfTCPk8+oxGIAElwlhxF9x/yJ4 LtQAmgP9nMk+/Ri61FNrLCrDonuU6mWg =r3VU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
