Ouch... that's a case of a read-write-verify with small blocks over |
22 |
USB showing just how slow USB really is, I think. Parted does things |
23 |
the safest way it can, and verifies things every step of the way, and |
24 |
I've even had it take several hours to transition a third or so as |
25 |
much data on an internal sata disk. Add in the limitations on speed of |
26 |
a USB bus and... well, 23hrs sounds about right to me... |
