I am having slow DVD burning speeds. I am running OpenBSD 3.6 Release. I looked in the FAQ and I saw the following:
---Begin FAQ quote--- Why am I not getting the writing speed I expected? Instead of the above writing output, you may see something like: 4784128/1545832448 ( 0.3%) @0.7x, remaining 26:50 7929856/1545832448 ( 0.5%) @0.7x, remaining 29:05 14123008/1545832448 ( 0.9%) @0.7x, remaining 27:06 ... which is much slower. It means you are somehow not getting enough throughput on whatever bus your DVD writer is using. In the above example, the USB DVD writer was attached to a machine on which the ehci(4) driver, used by USB 2.0 controllers, failed to initialize properly. As always, you are welcome to provide patches and test results. The DVD writer fell back to the slower USB 1.1 interface, which causes reduced throughput. Indeed, USB 1.1 is limited to 12 Mbit/s, which amounts to 1.43 MB/s or 1.08x in DVD speed terms. The DVD writer falls back to a lower pace than the maximum, to reduce the risk of buffer underruns. ---End FAQ quote--- I'm getting speeds of about 0.2x. I will attach my dmesg file. What should I do to fix this problem? [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of dmesg.boot]
