Special Forums Hardware Filesystems, Disks and Memory Slow copy (cp) performance when overwriting files Post 302831995 by achenle on Friday 12th of July 2013 11:09:38 AM

It's tough to help with so little data.

The problem could be a lot of things. The slow system could just be a slow system. The file system could be almost full, making it slower. It could be on disk(s) that are shared with other very busy file systems.

The more data you provide, the more help you'll get.

What type of Unix? What's the result from running "uname -a"?

What type of file system? How big is the file system? How full is it?
