Same here. I got this when I use Ubuntu 9.10

[  816.911502] usb 2-2: Ignoring serial port reserved for JTAG

I tried the Windows XP and it works without any problem. Maybe Ubuntu 9.10 broke the FTDI driver.

Hi All,

Dose anyone know if there is any program similar to Playon

That can run on Plug?

It will be nice to be able to stream Hulu to a TV.

Some update,

I defrag the NTFS drive but it dose not help with the performance much.

At that point, I change the file system to FAT32. Everything run great, the CPU loading is back to where I expect it to be.

There is only one problem with FAT32: The file can not be larger than 4G.

At the end, I decide to use Ext4. Access from Windows will just have go through Samba.

I can only get my transfer speed in Samba to 10Mb ( I have already set socket option = TCP_NODELAY). I wonder if anyone have been able to bring it up to 20 to 25Mb.

Some additional information about NTFS-3G performance issue

I read in NTFS-3G support forum:

http://forum.ntfs-3g.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1226

Some people also complaining that copy performance degrade when he upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) to Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) and he is using a PC.

I will try to follow the advice given in the article and report back the result.

Thanks for the info. I guess I need to put the Transmission download directory on SD card then move the file to USB HD after it is complete.
 

Hi Guys.

I updated my plug to 2.6.30.4 Kernel and use apt-get to install Transmission-daemon and NTFS-3G.

I mounted an USB hard drive through NTFS-3G and set Transmission-daemon download directory to the USB hard drive.

I loaded 7 torrents and everything is running fine but I notice something interesting.

mount.ntfs-3g process is taking up a lof of CPU load. When torrents started, the load was 43%. When I woke up in the morning to check again, the CPU loading was around 98% and did not go down.

When I mounted and SD card(FAT32) and use it as Transmission download directory, there was not much CPU load.

Is this normal? Anything I can do to lower the CPU load?

Best Regards
