This is OT, but I'm out of my depth here so I hope someone can help, or at least explain my problem.
I have a D-Link DSL-2760U router provided by Bezeq. It has 2 USB ports so I decided to setup a sort of home-made NAS to provide disk space for my home network. I connected a WD USB disk (1 TB) and tried copying files to and from the disk. I didn't expect lightning speed, but was surprised by how slow everything is. Here are some numbers: I tested the disk connected to a USB port on my computer and was able to read or write a 1 GB file in about 40 seconds. After connecting the disk to the router, the speeds are: reading 1 GB - 9 minutes writing 1 GB - 18 minutes I can understand some loss of speed, but this doesn't seem logical. I should probably mention that the disk is formated NTFS because the router only supports NTFS and FAT32. The test were all done on my Mandriva 2011.0 system. What am I missing and/or doing wrong? -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by Claws Mail 3.7.9 - KDE 4.6.5 - LINUX Mandriva 2011.0 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
