I would try setting mru and mtu to 1492, as long as your phone connection is good, you want the biggest packet possible. You can even try 1500, but that might cause a little degradation. 1492, should improve your situation, but I'm not sure how much. The differences in the init string I see,

Those recomendations are valid for broadband, but this is analog dialup, so anything over 576 is gonna cause delays. Windows is defaulting to an MTU of 576, which is why it's working better right now. You don't want the biggest packet possible when your bandwidth is limited, it's like a

What happens to initramfs after boot?

OK, I did it... I compiled an all-modules kernel and I am using udev inside my initramfs init to find my root partition and boot the system. It works cool... :) It wasn't easy, and after lots of tries with klibc-1.5, I gave it up and went to a straight glibc (2.8-20080929). Also, sorting

If I remember correctly, the initrd ramdisk is freed back once you switch over to the real root filesystem. I don't remember if you have to do anything special other than switching to the real root. This page has some more info. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-initrd.html

Re: What happens to initramfs after boot?

Thanks! :) But just to clarify, initrd is not initramfs. For what I have read, they are pretty similar, but also have fundamental differences. I ditched initrd because initramfs is here to replace it, so I haven't looked at it carefully. But again, for what I have read, and being unfamiliar

Did you capture rsync's output? It should tell you exactly which file it could not deal with. Tee the output and grep for error may give you info. In addition to the problems Lisa mentioned, rsync also can choke on linked files. Harold -Original Message- From: Robert Holtzman
