If you do need to be able to pause transfer, then look at KDE, which has excellent support for this. I stopped using Gnome a year ago, but there definitely used to be a pause button in Gnome. Tmpfs is insanely fast, but you need to know what you are doing. You can look into tmpfs, but it won't be automatic like that Windows program. Any suggestions would really be appreciated Cheers -Gaiko caf4926 March 29, 2009, 7:23am 2 This is possible in Dolphin. More importantly something that can recursively copy and check (like CRC/Size/etc) as it copies (or after it copies). Preload will cache more than programs/libs any file that is regularly used will be cached, so there is a potential for improvement. Hi I have been looking for some software that is similar to teracopy (which is only for win) for linux. Obviously, it will only work on files that preload caches. because the files will already be cached in memory, so there's no read from the hard drive, just write. Preload will speed up frequent file transfers. I'm sorry to say astrobeaver, but I am not aware of any program like terracopy for linux. There are however many ideas spinning at to implement it Second, there is no pause button in gnome. but when would you do something like that? Maybe if you would copy those cached programs/libs, it'll show an increase in transferspeed. Hawfull if you want to move anything within a single drive/partition.ĭrive MUST be perfectly defragmented to have any gain.Preload won't change your transfer rates (say, copying files from one HDD to another), but will decrease startup time of frequently used programs. Pros: Significantly faster under Windows XP.Ĭons: Slower than the native copy/move under Windows Vista or 7.Ĭauses 'File integrity violated' errors inder Vista or 7.
This can also cause heavy fragmentation.In this case, Windows will only move the entry pointing to the folder to it's new location leaving every files in it's original location.WILL cause " File integrety violated" errors under Windows Vista or later.Slower than the native move/copy under Windows Vista and 7. Only if still running Windows XP or older.įaster, but ONLY under Windows XP or older, then ONLY if your drive is perfectly defragmented.Under Vista and later, it's somewhat slower than Windows even if the drive is perfectly defragmented.Under ANY version of Windows, moving a folder within the same drive will be tousands of times SLOWER as each and every files will be copyed to the new location, then deleted from the original location.
