I am running QNX4.25 on 20GB hard disk with 11GB FAT32 partition.
When I copy files from QNX to FAT32, the speed is approximately
1 file per second (regardless to file size). Is it normal ?
Andy
Are you using Dosfsys, Fsys.dos or Fatfsys?
Is the directory that you are writing this file entry into very large?
Is may be taking that long to do a directory update.
(Note: This is just a non-QSSL guess. I have never had this problem.)

OK. I just read the subject line. I always forget to do that.
Don’t answer the first question.

Fatfsys 4.26A

no, I copy a normally structured part of qnx-filesystem

may be, but I have no idea how to test if the time is consumed by copying
file and FAT manipulation or directory update.
Mainly I would like to find somebody who has similar situation
and find what time relations can be observed on his machine.

Try doing a mkdir and see if it takes an excessivly long time.
Or alternatively, try ls on the directory. If you don’t notice
something wrong, then there probably isn’t anything wrong.

Andy,
I use Fatfsys to access a FAT32 partition. I’ve had it take 45 seconds to
create a 0 size file (“touch blankfile”). I’ve noticed that smaller files
take longer to handle than larger files (I have no idea why). It could be
dependent on the fragmentation level of the partition, but I haven’t tested
this.
I’ve also used QNX6 too, and I haven’t noticed any speed problems. The
FAT32 support in QNX6 is a LOT better than QNX4 IMO, as it acts exactly as
Windows might on a FAT32 partition (whether you find that good or bad is up
to you 
Being able to rename a non-empty directory is something I like,
as well as file names longer than 48 characters…
