Filesystems differences:
ext3: /dev/sda1 on /media/hdd type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=1,data=writeback)
ext4: /dev/sda1 on /media/hdd type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

Conversion Ext3-To-Ext4
Unable to convert internal hdd, because internal command tune2fs (part of busybox) does not have implemented necessary features. Backup recordings and do hdd inicialization and re-mount. Ext4 preformance is better as Ext3.

Thx kfl, very useful report.

Do you know if it is possible to convert from ext3 to ext4? Maybe on linux pc?
Click to expand...

Yes it is possible but in my tests for better performances you have to format again so all the files will be sorted and disk will be organized and defragmented.

Changed /etc/fstab file to enable TRIM functionality for my SSD hdd:

UUID=9006ec88-3a03-40b0-bc37-284b8a6b8780 /media/hdd auto defaults,relatime,discard 0 0

now output from mount:

/dev/sda1 on /media/hdd type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,discard)

Got varied results from 73.8MB/s to 86.8MB/s.... Don't know if that info is useful but their you go.

But using Mount command found out
Code: 
/dev/sda1 on /media/hdd type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered)

So drive actually formatted as ext3 (I'd assumed it was ext4 as used solo2 to initialize) and getting good speeds in Solo2?

I'm thinking of puchasing this drive, how is it working for you?

Did you ever reformat it to ext4 and retest it?

Been fine, no problems.
Going to reformat after I upgrade to 2.06 (still on 2.04) but not got around to it yet.
Will retest after though.

ragazzi l'ho formattato in questo modo:
2) Entra in telnet nel tuo solo e dai i seguenti comandi
3) umount /media/hdd
4) mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
5) mount /dev/sda1 /media/hdd
6) mkdir /media/hdd/movie
pero' mi dice che l'hd ha solo 121mb liberi (si blocca la registrazione dopo 2 minuti e mi da disco pieno), da notare che e' da 250 gb .
cosa sbaglio?Grazie a chi mi risponde.

Not bad considering 5400rpm? or am I understanding results wrong?

Updated to 2.06c and initalized, no mention of ext4 but guess it must have reformated to ext4,?

Sorry guys but I've made a mistake. My disk it's not a SAMSUNG but Crucial M4 (CT064M4SSD2) SATA III 6Gb/s SSD 64Gb 2,5"

"What a shame that we cannot edit our posts after 10min elapsed since posted" :(
