ethernet to USB is very slow...help? by
jtsnow
When I send data over my home LAN ethernet to a hard drive running on a USB
2.0 its very slow data transfer. This is PC to PC over 100baseT wired home
LAN to do disk backups. The slowness occurs in the translation from

utilization and CPU about 50%. Drive is only being accessed about 1/3 the
time so drive is not limiting...

[email protected]
The company I work for has NetApp file servers and according to our IT
people, they can't keep proper time using NTP.

the clock drifts fast and our ops set the time slow to compensate. We
don't have to have the...

Andreas Krennmair
Hi,
I was having a quick look at iSCSI on Linux, and there seem to be a
number of solutions, both for using a Linux host as iSCSI initiator and as
iSCSI target. What I saw was that virtually every solution was
kernel-based, supported by some userspace daemon. I do understand that
this is the way...

Slow LAN transfer rate...why? by

I have a PC, P3 600 XP SP2, on my home LAN that when it does a backup to a
network harddrive on the LAN, it only outputs data at about 10megbits/s or
about 10% of the LAN utilization and 100% CPU utilization. This is with no
other activity on the LAN. And this is doing drive image backups...
