Sep 16 07:24:35 <jisis> kvaks2: thanks.  Ho hum.  I pretty sure that it was much faster when I first set it up. Tinkering needed, perhaps.  I'll try ftp, samba, rsync and see what sort of speeds I get.  However, I'm sure that other people get better.  It's later model (so overclocked outofbox) and running slugos 5.3 from usb stick
Sep 16 11:35:49 <jelle_> it has been a while... when my openslug machine doesn't boot anymore from the usb disk after power failure, what file on that disk should I delete?
Sep 16 11:41:08 <jisis> don't know - how about this? http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RecoverFromCorruptBootDrive
Sep 16 11:45:07 <jelle_> yes, already trying something similar (fsck from another slug), but I thought there was a file that indicated bad shutdown that should be deleted as well...
Sep 16 19:16:05 <schmiddi> hello
Sep 16 19:20:22 <schmiddi> I 've got massive hd performance issues with my slug. 
Sep 16 19:20:22 <schmiddi> the results of hdparm -tT are looking good for me:
Sep 16 19:20:22 <schmiddi> /dev/sda1: 
Sep 16 19:20:22 <schmiddi>  Timing cached reads:   148 MB in  2.02 seconds =  73.42 MB/sec 
Sep 16 19:20:22 <schmiddi>  Timing buffered disk reads:   44 MB in  3.07 seconds =  14.35 MB/sec 
Sep 16 19:20:58 <schmiddi> but either copy operations in a ssh shell are very slow. have a look at this:
Sep 16 19:21:04 <schmiddi> time dd if=/dev/zero of=test.dat bs=1024k count=128 
Sep 16 19:21:04 <schmiddi> 128+0 records in
Sep 16 19:21:04 <schmiddi> 128+0 records out
Sep 16 19:21:04 <schmiddi> 134217728 bytes (134 MB) copied, 79.7828 s, 1.7 MB/s
Sep 16 19:22:42 <schmiddi> there's no difference between ntfs and ext2 systems. The dd operations was performed on a 8GB usb-stick. Does anyone have an idea, how i can grow up the performance?
Sep 16 19:34:59 <schmiddi> nobody an idea? :(
Sep 16 20:34:06 <schmiddi> help?
Sep 16 21:45:04 <Kvaks2> schmiddi_: 2 MB/s sounds good for a slug.
Sep 16 21:46:03 <Kvaks2> I got 3 with the default linksys firmware. I typically get less than 2 with samba @ Debian.
Sep 16 21:46:27 <Kvaks2> And even less using rsync.
Sep 16 21:46:30 <schmiddi_> for directly wirting on the hd? 
Sep 16 21:46:35 <Kvaks2> No.
Sep 16 21:46:36 <Kvaks2> Ah.
Sep 16 21:46:38 <Kvaks2> Sorry.
Sep 16 21:46:42 <Kvaks2> I didn't see that.
Sep 16 21:46:44 <schmiddi_> with samba, i got 750kb/s :(
Sep 16 21:47:03 <schmiddi_> it is awful
Sep 16 21:47:05 <schmiddi_> l
Sep 16 21:48:01 <schmiddi_> I'm searching for a week to solve this problem
Sep 16 21:48:11 <schmiddi_> but nobody knows 
Sep 16 21:50:16 <Kvaks2> Mine's not so much better:
Sep 16 21:50:36 <Kvaks2> 134217728 bytes (134 MB) copied, 44,5788 seconds, 3,0 MB/s
Sep 16 21:51:12 <Kvaks2> Also on an USB memory stick
Sep 16 21:51:23 <schmiddi_> got the same results on my hdd
Sep 16 21:51:43 <schmiddi_> but why is samba so slow
Sep 16 21:52:33 <Kvaks2> Dunno. I don't care any more. I've pretty much stopped using the slug to host files.
Sep 16 21:53:06 <schmiddi_> filehosting is the only mission for my slug
Sep 16 21:53:44 <schmiddi_> at reading files via samba it reaches 3,3mb/s, for wirting 0,7mb/s it is a mes
Sep 16 21:53:44 <schmiddi_> s
Sep 16 21:53:55 <schmiddi_> network checked with iperf
Sep 16 21:54:05 <schmiddi_> nothing running (nfs, samba, cups)
