Re: [coLinux-users] \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 is much slower than \Device\Harddisk0\Partition0

Hello Henry,

According to
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-asynchronous-cobd-as-default--p16040183.html
setcobd=async doesn't change the speed 3 times. So I decided to use Partition0
instead of  Partition1 and mount it with -loop option. But before that I
formated NTFS partition (Partition1) as reiserfs and ran hdparm, dd, etc. The
speed changed from 6MB/sec to 19-21MB/sec. I'm wondering why unmounted NTFS
partition ( or rather a partition without an assigned letter ) is much slower
than reiserfs partition ? Anyway now I'm quite happy with 20MB/sec.

One more observation: when it was NTFS partition kernel complained about I/O
error during the boot: end_request: I/O error, dev codb0, sector 78156160. The
size of the partition is 78156162 sectors. I tried to dd the last sectors and
got the same error at sector 78156160. Now I don't have that error with
reiserfs. Just in case I made reiserfs a little bit smaller.
