Getting Better All The Time

I'm copying my torrents folder across from Lina to Haruhi.  It's about 200GB, and it's only achieving 5MB per second, so it's going to take about 12 hours (during which time I can't download anything...)

As a test, while that was running I grabbed one folder at random (it just happened to be G-On Riders) and dropped it onto the anime directory on Yurie.  That ran at over 40MB per second.

Now that's an improvement.

1 So you've got a gigabit network, since 100-megabit cannot do 40 megabytes per second. I'm guessing that Lina is 100-megabit to the hub, but that's still not the limiting factor. Slow hard drives on Lina? or strange OS version, with inefficient file system?

2  I've had a gigabit network for a while now, and Lina has a gigabit port.  It just seems to suck.  Usually I can get about 10MB/sec out of it, though.

Come to think of it, I had a similar problem last year when one of the drives started failing.  Fortunately it didn't fail all at once and I had time to copy everything off and take it out of the array.  Maybe I have another drive going the same way.  Maybe now's a good time to be copying everything off that system as fast as I possibly can...
