Performance benefits weren't a goal of UFS2. If your disk hardware is fast enough (i.e. not crappy ATA hardware) you might see a small performance boost, as I did in my tests. The cause of this isn't well-understood, i.e. it seems to be a side-effect of something else. The cost is that UFS2 performs more disk I/O than UFS1, which means that if your disk hardware is already saturated (see: aforementioned crappy ATA hardware), it may actually be slower. Kris
