  1. HDD spins down either instantly or not at all

    I was trying to set some sane spindown time values for my 2.5" Hitach 5k1000 drive but it appears it ignores whatever I set.

    The only thing that has an effect it setting APM level with hdparm -B. ...

    Also, beceuse I am using Arch linux, I was able to use Profile-sync-daemon and Anything-sync-daemon to put...
  7. Re: Which filesystem for Linux on a slow USB stick ?

    Excellent point. I have not thought of it before.

  8. Re: Which filesystem for Linux on a slow USB stick ?

    It is.

    23GB fat32 / 8GB linux with grub (for f2fs there will be additional ext2 partition for /boot)
  9. Re: Which filesystem for Linux on a slow USB stick ?

    On my HDD, with ext4 I used to get up to 60MB/s read/write speeds. With...

    Not at all.
    I mean the plymouth screen where it asks for disk password before it even begins booting.
