Hi list and Patrick,

the default max_sectors is 240. I change this to 1024 like you said but the
problem continue.

If i try the speed:

time dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/dev/null bs=1M count=5
i get that speed: 972 MB/s

but if i run rsync, the upload transfer rate is very slow ( begins at 4MB/s
and goes below until 0.7KB/s)
