long pause on file creation.

before someone says it, I read the above and realize that there will be a second or two pause no matter what but the problem that im having is that the pause can sometimes be as long as 10 seconds.

I've always had this and at first I thought that it was because then I had my hard drive with the default clusters but i've recently redone everything on the system and I've got the clusters at 64k and while it did help the problem is still there.

Athlon 2100+
80g hard disk (3, partitions. 10g system, 12g data, rest sage w64k sectors)
Radeon 9600
512m DDR2100
Hauppauge PVR-250

how much free space do you have on that 58 gig partition? Also remember that the pause is not just the file creation but the closing of the old file. I have seen drives that are low on free space have slow response in the past. Regardless, if it were me, I would buy a larger drive and put it on the secondary controller for sage. You are not really gaining all that much by using multiple partitions on the same disk. Doing what you described in your partition layout does 2 things: allows you to seclude your data in case 1 or more drives fail and increase the speed of data reads/writes. Both those benefits are lost when you just partition the same drive.

thanks, the partition is basically clear. I do plan on replaceing the drive very soon with probably a 8m cache 160g that probably would help.

My SAGE started to to the same thing, I recently (right before this started) changed the default path for video recordings.....????
