| 11:22.09 | willem | It is abnormal to have a write speed of 950kb/sec (tested with hdparm) on an external usb disk, isn't it? |
| 11:22.35 | willem | it takes almost to minutes to write a 100mb file ... |
| 11:22.52 | willem | the thing is that on a windows pc, the disk performs ok |
| 11:23.17 | willem | I have installed the openwrt firmware (kamikaze) on my nslu2 |

| 13:55.22 | ShadowJK_ | I hope you havent mounted the disk with -o sync |
| 13:55.40 | ShadowJK_ | ( check /proc/mounts ) |
| 14:31.28 | willem | nope, async |
| 14:31.50 | willem | ShadowJK_: I use a 1TB disk, I assume that's to big for good performance? |
| 14:34.04 | Reedy | whats size got to do with performance? |
| 15:07.26 | willem | Reedy: do you have any other explanation for the slow behaviour? |
| 15:09.07 | Reedy | From an NSLU2? |
| 15:09.17 | Reedy | The Network, The Ram, The CPU, the USB... |
| 15:13.20 | willem | oke, but why have several users such high performance and me such low performance |
| 15:13.28 | willem | the only difference is the external hard disk |
| 15:15.06 | Reedy | No one gets high preformance |
| 15:15.10 | Reedy | What speeds are you getting? |
| 15:15.53 | willem | Reedy: less then 1mb/sec for reading/writing |
| 15:16.24 | willem | doing a dd bs=1MB count=100 if=/dev/zero of=test.img takes ages |
| 15:20.33 | Reedy | where are you when your running that command |
| 15:22.01 | willem | I simply mount the external usb disk and put that test.img on the usb disk |
| 15:23.22 | Reedy | so your in some folder on that disk? |
| 15:24.19 | willem | uhu, but i get the same bad performance when running hdparm or using smb to transfer some files |
| 15:28.03 | Reedy | what drive/caddy is it? |
| 15:33.05 | willem | western digital elements 1TB |
| 15:59.13 | Reedy | Got the external power plugged in? |
| 15:59.56 | ShadowJK_ | heh |
| 16:00.27 | ShadowJK_ | I think that disk doesnt even try without external power |
| 16:01.06 | willem | ShadowJK_: uhu thats correct |
| 16:01.24 | willem | and that would still be weird since the same disk setup works fine with linux/windows |
| 16:01.46 | Reedy | I was just making sure :P |
| 16:01.51 | willem | hehe |
| 16:01.59 | Reedy | What OS have you got on it? |
| 16:02.03 | willem | tomorrow I will have different hardware to test |
| 16:02.12 | willem | i had openwrt on it |
| 16:03.14 | ShadowJK_ | with hdparm -tT I get 5.32 from a usb flash drive, 5.87 from a seagatte freeagent usb harddrive |
| 16:03.37 | willem | i get 922kb/sec |
| 16:03.43 | willem | thats almast 6 times slower |

| 16:18.47 | ShadowJK_ | no |
| 16:18.54 | ShadowJK_ | not connected to nslu2 anyway |
| 16:20.18 | mwester | There's nothing magic about the size of the disk. |
| 16:20.41 | willem | mwester: but why that bad performance? |
| 16:21.12 | mwester | I don't know -- but it's certainly not the size. |
| 16:21.39 | mwester | What does hdparm tell you? |
| 16:22.49 | willem | read and write speeds < 1mb/sec |
| 16:22.59 | mwester | Do the command ShadowJK_ suggested with hdparm; that will tell you the speed to the disk itself. The dd command has to write to the filesystem. |
| 16:23.16 | mwester | Show me the command and the output (pastebin) |
| 16:24.11 | willem | i am installing debian on it right now, but i did hdparm -Tt /dev/sda and I got two results, each around 922kb/sec |
| 16:24.30 | ShadowJK_ | The first result from hdparm -tT shouldn't be 900-ish.. |
| 16:25.04 | willem | i did -Tt but still, both where around 9xx |
| 16:25.10 | mwester | What were you running on it before you started installing debian? |
| 16:25.24 | willem | openwrt |
| 16:26.06 | mwester | Wow. :-o So you are going from one extreme to the other! |
| 16:26.19 | mwester | Ok, well, I can help you with neither, really. |
| 16:26.30 | willem | what do you suggest to install? |
| 16:27.05 | mwester | You don't state your needs; I presume you have studied the firmware page on the wiki and selected your choices carefully. |
| 16:27.33 | willem | uhu but why do you see debian as an extreme choice? |
| 16:28.10 | ShadowJK_ | in the tiny - huge scale you went from one extreme to the other |
| 16:28.49 | mwester | OpenWRT is the smallest firmware, Debian is the biggest firmware, what is interesting is the neither of those two actually has any of the developers for them on the nslu2-linux project. |
| 16:29.40 | mwester | So your disk issues would need to be discussed on the openwrt channel for the one, and on the debian-arm channel for the other! |

| 17:46.10 | willem | none of them work |
| 18:15.19 | mwester | Depends on the firmware you installed. I have no idea what it would be on Debian. |
