Hi Paulo,
Many thanks for taking the time to give the detailed description of
the way the fs works. My understanding was clearly too simplistic.
Certainly I am convinced that I should move to ext3 at very least.
Out of interest though, TS reported the write speeds using bonnie++,
as did I, and I used the same options they used (as well as disk
format, block size, sync mount etc), so the results *should* be the
same. I can't see why any hardware fault would be causing the
discrepency, and the kernel and root fs were vanilla TS. Perhaps
different SD cards have vastly different write algorythms and flash
speeds, I will try more brands.
Certainly what you say has worked out, with the drive mounted async, I
can acheive up to 600 or so kb/s write speed. This is certainly
acceptable, and using the journelling fs aliviates my reliability
concerns.
Once again, thanks,
Hamish
