This is a little OT, but how well do XFS and reiserfs work with laptops? I am under the impression that reiserFS does not have good spin-down times, even when mounted with noatime and noflushd running. As I understand it, reiserFS bypasses the kernels delayed-write system, so noflushd has no effect. XFS does this too, I think, although I haven't tried it. Do any of you notice this when you run these filesystems, or is there a way to fix it? Right now I am just using ext3 on my laptop, but I have XFS on my desktop and am really happy with it. It 'feels' a lot faster. Thanks, Mike Gayeski [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
