  6. Why does #Windows fragment files on #exfat when you write them onto an empty drive one by one after each other?
    WTF?!?

    Does it try to be smart somehow or what is going on here? Now I need to defrag this shit even though I copied the files onto it just now.

    Sigh.

    Additional question how often can you defrag an SSD before it tells you to fuck off?

    (Still microcontroller things that need one file to be in a single consecutive blob on the disk).

  7. I've just moved a number of large files that I do not use often from an active partition to a backup partition.

    What is odd is that the access speed to the active partition has increased significantly. Since that should not be possible, that must have to do with the manner in which the active partition is accessed by the Android operating system. Some research required.

    Původně jsem měl NVMe disk zformátovaný na #NTFS. Včera jsem zjistil, že po zformátování disku na #exFAT se rychlost zápisu zdvojnásobila na 1 GB/s. Rychlost čtení dosahuje také 1 GB/s což je asi i reálný limit USB 3.2 Gen 2. Špatná propustnost je vlastnost NTFS nebo jeho ovladač je v #Fedora Linux tak neefektivní?

  20. Darn, this #macos and #exFAT easter egg bit me again.

    Trying to rsync files from one external drive (APFS) to another one (exFAT) slows down before my eyes. from 900kB/s to 600 kB/2 in a couple of hours. 1,1 Tb of data, millions of files and moving the files to an external exFAT formatted drive seems like a mission impossible with no heroes around.

    F...ck.

  21. Estaba algo preocupado cuando lei por ahi que la nueva actualización del #DSM a 7.3 no soportaría #exFAT en mis #Synology.

    La aclaración es simple: DSM 7.3 ya incluye la licencia, mientras que para versiones anteriores a la version 7, requieren la COMPRA de la licencia para poder acceder a estar unidades.

    Ja, in der Tat, aber ca. 48 Std früher.

  28. #SSD Question.
    I use an external 2TB SSD for climate and weather data storage and analyses. Just citizen science, not professional.
    The files I generate during analyses are mostly small and numerous.

    Today, I had the case that a for-loop for listing all *.csv in one folder created a list with 12 million rows. But the folder really only held 3500 files.

    So I thought, maybe yesterday's analyses that quickly created and deleted and created thousands of files was too much for the SSD index and it created 12mio (not thousands, but 12 mio!)

    Or it is the internal SSD and MacOS indexing process that created those 12million ghost files?

    Grateful for tips and tricks!

    I am in the process of restoring my macOS on the re-formatted internal drive, and also backing up the suspicious external SSD to then re-format it.

    edit: this time round, I use HFS+ as SSD format.

  29. 💾 Recovered my external drive using the legendary testdisk utility.

    macOS wouldn’t mount it, diskutil was hanging, and Finder showed nothing. Turned out the partition table was marked as “deleted” after an improper eject.

    TestDisk helped me reassign it as primary, and boom - data back, no loss.

    🧠 Lesson: ExFAT is fragile. Always eject properly.

  34. Linux 6.15’s exFAT file deletion performance boosted

    A recent development in the upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel has been spotted, because there was a big improvement to the exFAT file system implementation in relation to how it deletes the files when the “discard” mount option is used. This improvement significantly saves time as a test file after the merge has been deleted in 1.6 seconds, compared to more than 4 minutes of the total time taken.

    This pull request makes sure that, upon file deletion, it discards a group of contiguous clusters (that is, clusters that are next to each other) in batch instead of discarding them one by one. This was because in prior kernels, such as 6.14, “if the discard mount option is enabled, the file’s clusters are discarded when they are freed. Discarding clusters one by one will significantly reduce performance. Poor performance may cause soft lockup when lots of clusters are freed.”

    The change has been introduced in commit a36e0ab. Since then, the pull request has been merged to the kernel and it will be integrated to the first release candidate of Linux 6.15. A simple performance benchmark has been verified with the following commands:

    # truncate -s 80G /mnt/file# time rm /mnt/file

    In detail, the performance of this filesystem without this commit is poor, totalling about 4 minutes and 46 seconds in real time, with 12 seconds of system time. In contrast to the patched kernel, it totals about 1 second in real time, with 17 milliseconds of system time.

    It’s a huge improvement!

  35. @timoruppell As it turns out it was about the filesystem format. While exFAT supports millions of files per dir and huge partitions, #macos writing to #exFAT is just very slow (and also appears to slow down the more you write).

    Reformatting external disks with #APFS made a huge difference - maybe 10 times faster writes and no slowing down during the huge 7z file extraction process.

    Extraction toos 5-6 days to exFAT formatted disk and only 6 hours to APFS formatted disk.

  36. No, #Apple, this volume was NOT created back in 1970, but only a few minutes ago, yes, in 2024.

    This very embarrassing #bug in #macOS when displaying information about an #ExFAT volume in the Finder has been reported by us SIX YEARS ago, and it is still glaringly present in macOS 15.2.

    This type of negligence is very problematic for a digital asset manager software like my #NeoFinder, and we can see bugs like that in most parts of the Apple operating system these days.
