I have about 15gb of data that I wish to copy from my NTFS external harddrive connected via USB to the ext4 partition of my harddrive. While copying from my laptop's NTFS harddrive the rate was about 20mb/s. In the opposite direction, however, the rate is about 3mb/s. Am I missing something important or is there something wrong?
When checking the properties of my Downloads folder I saw that it said
Total Size on Files: 5.3GB Size on Disk: 43.0GB
o__O I have noticed this in Windows, but I've been too lazy to inquire further because the difference was only a few percentage. Is this because of the different file system that Linux uses? Is this normal?
I need some guidance with partitioning my machine which is running Ubuntu 11.10. I have try using gParted within Ubuntu, but I keep getting a root access error. Eventually, after a few hours of tinkering, I managed to get gParted to load. The problem now is that when i try to unmount HDD through gParted, in order to partition it, I am unable to do so. Help. :(
