im guessing here, but IIRC ext2 is supported by the firmware and not ext4.. so if you really are loading your kernel, initramfs, and such from ext4, it might cause some slowness. I also noticed on the pogoplug e02, when I tried F17, it was slow, but I think that had to do with USB 1.0 and booting off a usb thumb drive. (apparently uboot was only recognizing the usb port as usb1.0). ----- Original Message ----- > From: Till Maas <opensource@xxxxxxxxx> > To: arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: > Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2013 5:04 PM > Subject: slow loading of initrd/kernel from ext file system on kirkwood/dockstar > > Hi, > > I noticed that loading the kernel/initrd from an ext4 file system as it > is the default on F18 Beta is very slow compared to vfat.
