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
