I've noticed that under oS12.1 / KDE3 writing to NTF partition on external USB disk is terribly slow. It was not before and my (wrong) impression was that it happened after I defined the second partition on that disk as encrypted ReiserFS. The same disk worked perfectly well under oS11.4/KDE3. After discussion on opensuse list it turned out that the reason was that auto-mounter mounted this partition with sync option. Manual remounting without sync resolved the issue. I've also checked that under 12.1/KDE4 the disk is mounted correctly without "sync".
Always use "sync" on removable devices otherwise you are risking to loose data if the device is removed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
