Hi all,
I am using NTFS-3g with my external HDD and internal too. Copying is extremly slow. Copying to external is about 400KB/s to 2MB/s, and internal about 2-3MB/s. External is eSata (plugged with SATA->eSATA cable ) and Internal is SATA. I am using Gentoo with Vanilla kernel 2.6.29.1 with TuxOnIce patch. I mount it: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data ntfs-3g noauto,user,defaults,utf8 0 0 (/etc/fstab). I use disks on my Windows on second partition and I didn`t have any problems, copying is fine.
Here are some interesting facts:
Code:
#hdparm -i /dev/sdb

Anyone to help me? Please, I don`t know what to do :( Thanks a lot.
