That is afaik not correct. The min should be seconds and e.g. noflushd doesn't work with journaling filesystems. It is right that you can change the commit frequency (afaik since 2.4.20), but this don't really solve the problem, with noflushd. I hope this helps. If you like to use noflushd you should you ext2, which is rock solid, but don't have journaling support. /CyPy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
