The problem with USB stick and msdosfs

[Matthew Dillon]

:It doesn't happen with any other OS (tried Debian, MacOSX and Windows XP) 
:and there is no problem in DragonFly with the very same formatted to UFS 
:either.

    I'm guessing it is a function of msdosfs, which doesn't try to
    aggregate clusterable writes.  Linux's block devices work differently,
    it's easier for linux to cluster writes.  Not really on my list,
    non-native filesystems aren't really designed with performance
    in mind.
