Hello, I tested FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE doing this : 1. mount /win98 partition as rw only. Move from BSD partition to FAT32 a file of 500MB. Time around 25min. System really slow. CPU as idle around 99% but vmstat reported a lot of blocked processes(2to6). Can't work anymore in the box until de copy operation finished. 2. mount /win98 as rw, sync. The same scenario movinf a file 500MB from UFS to FAT32 . Time around 35min. System ok. You can do some other work meanwhile copy operation. In the first scenario there were really long delays until opening a new terminal, or top, whatever processes. So why is happening this ? Should /win98 be mounted a sync option. In both cases I used an ad0: 19470MB <IBM-DJNA-352030> [39560/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 Pentium III 550MHz 128MBRAM, 500swap.
