you know ... turns out this slowdown only happens when copying from fat32 to fat32 ... when copying from fat32 to linux partition it's constantly at about 9mb/second. Still, acording to your huge test results my hdds might be somehow missconfigured, or is
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.85 seconds =150.59 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.87 seconds = 34.22 MB/sec
normal for a 7200 rpm 20Gb Ibm drive?
I think that part of the problem IS in the fact that you're copying
FAT32 to FAT32 - what happens when you copy it to ext3 or ReiserFS and
then to FAT32?
As I understand these tests (hdparm -tT ) don't have anything to do with the partition type (actually at least on hda I've got like 7 or 8 partitions) ... so maybe there's a problem in general in how my linux works with my hdds?
