Re: how do i mount my second hard automaticly?
ok a curious hardware question i havent done that yet i will in a few minutes but if i copy large rar files 100 megs or so from my storage drive to my linux drive sometimes they zip right over and sometimes it hangs takes like 45 seconds or so when normaly they zip over in say 4 seconds or so could that be "A" because im not automounted or "B" because my storage drives ntfs??? or any idea?

Re: how do i mount my second hard automaticly?
i noticed from my ntfs storage drive i manualy mount for now i notice writing to it or from it some times file you are transferring zips over sometimes it hangs and takes its time i know drive is healthy im streaming my 8 gig 720P wmv HD rips to my 360 and it doesnt stutter or anything movies play fine so the twonkymedia server is streaming off it fine
Re: how do i mount my second hard automaticly?
NTFS is fully implemented in Linux, but the performance is rather poor right now...
Re: how do i mount my second hard automaticly?
so youre saying its all the ntfs fault?? so should be no issue if i turn the drive into ext3 i wont have the transfer issues?? on another note i wonder if thats why my streaming to my 360 stops and says buffering every so often cause im streaming media off my storage drive which is ntfs to my 360 i mean twonky media is in my home folder which is linux but streams out of my ntfs drive think thats the problem???
Re: how do i mount my second hard automaticly?
I saw an error in my mkdir command above, it should be
not /etc/ntfs, edited above as well. And I am not sure whether or not Twonky will stream faster with ext3 or not, that could be a network issue. Making it ext3 will improve performance in Linux, you will get faster transfer/write and read speeds, but if you want to access it in Windows you have to use FS-driver. And it is an external drive? Then you could also just use pmount, unless my guide above worked for you.
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /media/ntfs
Re: how do i mount my second hard automaticly?
my project is stalled till wednesday to friday or so because im goin to turn my 300 ntfs into ext3 but need to get all my stuff off it and my 400 that i was goin to use to hold my stuff died so ill be able to A get a drive from frys if on sale or B order from newegg .
