Package: debian Version: 6.0.5 (and earlier releases of squeeze)
I'm using x86_64. When writing data to a sata disk, write speed is very very slow compared with fedora on the same machine. Here is an example session using an 896MB tar archive of a rootfs on a freshly installed minimal system; # mkdir tmp && cd tmp # date > time.txt; tar -xf ~/ac100-root-tmp.tar; date >> time.txt # cat time.txt Thu Aug 23 14:03:16 BST 2012 Thu Aug 23 14:07:52 BST 2012 # # date > time.txt; rm -rf *; date >> time.txt # cat time.txt Thu Aug 23 14:08:26 BST 2012 Thu Aug 23 14:11:48 BST 2012 # The same session on the same machine with a freshly installed minimal fedora17 system; # mkdir tmp && cd tmp # date > time.txt; tar -xf ~/ac100-root-tmp.tar; date >> time.txt # cat time.txt Thu Aug 23 14:46:53 BST 2012 Thu Aug 23 14:46:55 BST 2012 # # date > time.txt; rm -rf *; date >> time.txt # cat time.txt Thu Aug 23 14:47:34 BST 2012 Thu Aug 23 14:47:39 BST 2012 # The above session on a wheezy install (different machine) results in timings similar to the fedora session.
