I make sure I turn off tail packing (mount option 'notail') with reiserfs and backuppc, because it slows disk operations down somewhat. I don't know exactly how much; but it is nontrivial. Disk is cheap, and backuppc is usually disk-I/O bound. Spend the disk to get better performance. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
