Hello,
right now, I am in the process of copying about 200 GB of data over a GBit Ethernet connection to the Mybook. However, I just only get about 9-14 MB/s of throughput, because (according to ‘top’) on the Mybook, mediacrawler, perl and twonky compete against each other with the ‘smbd’ process that receives the data.
May I suggest that you disable / pause updating of the media indexes while the device is busy transferring data? This causes a terrible slowdown and makes no sense, because the data on disk is still changing.
Thank you!
