I have been experimenting in msdosfs_read and I have managed to come up with
something that works, but I'm sure it is flawed. On large file reads it will
improve read performance (see below) - but only after a long period of the
file copy achieving only 3MB/s (see A1). During this time gstat reports the
disc itself is reading at its maximum of around 28MB/s. After a long period
of low throughput, the disc drops to 25MB/s but the actual transfer rate
increases to 25MB/s (see A2).
I've tried to narrow it down to something but I'm mostly in the dark, so I'll
just hand over what I found to work to review. I looked at Bruce's changes to
msdosfs_write and tried to do the same (implement cluster_read) using the
ext2 and ffs _read methods as a how-to. I think I'm reading ahead too far, or
too early. I have been unable to interpret the gstat output during the first
part of the transfer any further.
gstat(8) output at the start (slow, A1), and middle (fast, A2) of a large file
copy between msdosfs/usb drive (da0s1) and ufs2/ata-100 (ad1).

After 30-45 seconds (1GB test file):

The patch which combines Bruce's original patch for msdosfs_write, revised for
current text positions, and my attempts to do the same for msdosfs_read.

I'd hope that someone could point me in the right direction so I can clean the
patch up, or finish this off themselves and commit it (or something else
which will increase the read/write speed).
Thanks very much,
