Hi there,
I'm rather a busybox noob, so I hope to find some help here:
I use busybox on my Siemens Gigaset settopbox together with VDR. This works very fine, but unfortunately I seem to be the only user with this combination that experiences a very slow USB HD performance.
Strange thing is, that the HD is running at a Windows PC perfectly with ~25MB/s.
benchmarks with dd result in the following:
# time dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/LAUFWERK_G/out.test bs=1024 count=100000
100000+0 records in 100000+0 records out real 1m 49.80s user 0m 2.30s sys 0m 34.70s # time dd if=/media/LAUFWERK_G/out.test of=/dev/null 200000+0 records in 200000+0 records out real 0m 46.59s user 0m 4.08s sys 0m 23.64swhich is about 4MB/s and worse.
mount results these mount options: /dev/sda1 on /var/media/LAUFWERK_G type vfat (rw,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev) Hence it's not synchronized.
Any Idea how I could debug this further? ~4MB/s is bigger than low-speed USB, so it does not seem to be a problem of the wrong USB driver...
I would also say that it's no problem of CPU performance, because there is some community of users with the same HW and don't experiencing this problem (but they don't have an idea what's wrong here, either).
So this mailing list is my last hope to get things going...
Cheers, Hauke
