It barely actually writes half of it to the USB.
Ryder Lopez
does RNG play a role here? like depending what's on the flash drive already (maybe in the unallocated space) write speed changes?
Ayden Jackson
NTFS is fucking superior
Caleb Perry
doesn't windows keep writing the file in the background even after the transfer is "finished"?
Joseph Wright
Actually I think that must be the issue. Linux working poorly with the NTFS of my USB stick.
Nope. Linux does.
Lincoln Bennett
I've copied files to and from flash drives on my Windows desktop and Linux laptop simultaneously and they transferred at the same speeds.

>check file on flash drive on another computer
>it's corrupted
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK LINUX IS BULLSHIT CODED BY RETARDED MANCHILDREN INB4 WORKS ON MY MACHINE I DONT GIVE A FUCK IT DOESNT WORK ON MY MACHINE
Zachary White
You need to run the sync command in order to check if the file was really copied. It suck balls.
watch grep -e Dirty: -e Writeback: /proc/meminfo
And you need this fucking command in order to check the status of the sync.

>uses ntfs on linux
>complains about speed
use ext4 faggot
Jow Forums became fucking retarded lately
Parker Sanders
ext4 my arse, you dumb little bastard
I need to plug my USB stick in Windows machines you fucking nignog
Jonathan Ramirez
people actually eject their usbs before they pull em out?
Camden Bailey
>I need to plug my USB stick in Windows
keep crying then, not my fault you're a fucking retard

What? No one has ever said this. NTFS has always been the worst filesystem available. it has been a point of mockery for decades. Stupid Zoomer.
Joshua Nelson
Then use exFAT.
Jose Gomez
Always
Jacob Rodriguez
10x my good bro
Jonathan Thompson
One thing I've noticed is that transfers of lots of small files is slow as all fuck with NTFS
Tyler Carter
>not using udf
Robert Barnes
This has been discussed before
It's not windows faster, it's Nautillius fault
Pick another file manager
Ryder Brown
Same. IIRC zero compression archiving a bunch of files into one and then copying that instead might actually be faster overall.
Brody Ward
Use rsync and it's fine
Asher Parker
idk about linux, but windows does write-caching by default. it can be diaabled.
Nolan Gray
Linux is a kernel.
Owen Edwards
I'll tell you that it is. Just did a dummy test to where I archived some shit, copied, and extracted. It was a few seconds faster than just copying.
Grayson Watson
Can't you just change I/O scheduler to something that doesn't clog the cache?
Juan Bell
>Talking about filesystems
>No f2fs
Use it on all my flash stuff.
Christian Hall
My Dick is in your moms ass.
Colton Clark
Knock knock, bitch. It's shadow copy and first class distributed ACLs.
NTFS is long in the tooth, but it's not actually bad. It's just a bit clunky due to the dedication to legacy supoort. The only feature I'd like to see in it is support for filesystem level error correction.

You probably weren't using NTFS like the retard OP is lmao
