Rgds, Well, I use XFS for performance. Earlier I was using ext4 and troubled with sluggishness. Recently I came to know that ext4 has a mount option data=writeback which improves performance manifolds (using that on servers and it does do well than with the default ordered mode). -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com
