I keep one copy of my latest backup on usb sticks that I keep in my pack. Yesterday, I recreated it. It's an ext2 ptn:
/dev/sdb1 on /media/usb0 type ext2 (rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime) That happens when I plug it in (udev?). drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2009-05-20 22:55 /media/sdb1/ I plugged it in at 17:13, started the copy minutes later, and it took until 03:43 to finish, which is pretty sucky. CD copies take like ten minutes. (0) infidel /home/keeling_ du -sm /scratch/afio/ 637 /scratch/afio/ Is it just that usb's slow, or is the box doing it wrong? Is it my preference for ext2? I've tried w both usb hubs and directly into laptop; same, same. This's on a HP Pavilion dv4 AMD-64. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
