Slow writing to SD card

[aerogate]

Hi there,

 

When I insert an SD card into my USB card reader it get`s automatically mounted in mandriva 2009.1, only problem is that it is really slow whilst writing files to it, especially if the files are large, eg greater than 50MB.

 

If I unmount the SD card and manually mount it myself, I get fast speed as it should be.

see if the mount options are different when you mount it vs. when Mandriva mounts it automatically.

 

Type 'mount' in a console while it's mounted, do it once after Mandriva mounted it and once after you manually mounted it and compare the line that refers to the sd-card (maybe post the output of 'mount' for each attempt here).

Put the card in, let it get automounted and take note of the parameters in /etc/mtab. Unmount the card, mount it manually, and compare the content of /etc/mtab. This should tell you how to modify the card reader's entry in /etc/fstab.

Thanks for the info guys!

I have this problem too! Please, if someone knows anything about this, tell us!

 

My RX3715 has been behaving this way since the first day:

If you record video to the main memory, it's inmediate (like Zire72 on SD)

If you record to the SecureDigital, it's a dissaster.

 

I have tried two cards, but the results are the same.

 

Thank you for your help
