GPU acceleration sounds great, but fixing the slow disk speed across the Linux/Windows boundary would be even better.

- naikrovek 4y agoNTFS is just slow for accessing lots of files in a short amount of time. That was a tradeoff that was made intentionally, and it won't go away until you use another filesystem for your boot volume. ReFS is apparently going to be an option for this sometime soon.
- teruakohatu 4y agoWSL2 is slow, even accounting for NTFS. It is painfully slow. Accessing the Linux volume from Windows is also slow. WSL1 was faster too. It makes backing up the linux home directory painful.
- naikrovek 4y agoah, it's 9p that's slow, then. there are other ways to get files from A to B. consider backing up to the local network rather than the host Windows machine, maybe. I don't know. another option may be to mount your home directory from another host. that may not suffice if you're doing a lot of windows interop I suppose. once in WSL I tend to stay there, and not do much related stuff in Windows, and I just tar & gz the home directory and put it on a flash drive when I want to back it up.
- aliqot 4y agohow does one make 9p slow?
- naikrovek 4y agohow is anything slow? there are probably 1 million valid answers to that question. if netcat is faster, then it's almost certainly 9p's fault that file transfers are slow between WSL and Windows.
- aliqot 4y agoyou're obviously not familiar with 9p, so ill restate my original question.
- naikrovek 4y ago> you're obviously not familiar with 9p, so ill restate my original question. you're obviously not familiar with the term "restate." statements are restated, not questions. also, if you say you're going to ask again, you should actually ask again... [let's pretend you asked again and that I quoted you here.] how does one make anything slow? poor implementation, throttling, bugs, etc. if 9p is just raw bytes over the wire then you tell me how it could be so slow. you seem to know the answer and you're clearly playing manipulative games by asking what you're asking. going out of your way to make yourself feel superior to a few words on a website. people here are saying it's slow. you're asking how it could be. I'm gesturing vaguely at the thing saying "this is how, apparently." stop being an ass and either participate in the conversation or leave the conversation.
- NayamAmarshe 4y agoWell... Just use Linux? Install ZorinOS and boom, instant better OS experience.
- yodon 4y agoThe issue is deeper than NTFS. Working on either side of the divide in WSL is plenty fast. Trying to move data across the divide is not.
- jbm 4y agoI can't be the only person who made this mistake, but "ReFS" doesn't refer to ReiserFS[1], but rather Resilient File System[2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReiserFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReiserFS [2] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/refs/refs-overview https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/ref...
- naikrovek 4y agoReFS is not a new term for most Windows admins or people who follow what MS is doing, but I didn't think that someone might misinterpret that name. Thank you.
