I've upgraded a Yun and successfully used the sketch to setup an SD card (class 4 8GB Kingston), and there's a crazy difference in performance between the ext4 main partition and the vfat data one. Creating a 1MB file using:
time dd if=/dev/zero of=zero count=1024 bs=1024
takes around 10 seconds for ext4 and 2 minutes for the vfat data partition.
Any ideas why the disastrous fat32 performance?
