I've had my laptop's / on jfs for a while now. I notice that many directories become excessively large after some use. As an example:
,----[ ls -lsd /etc /tmp ] | 468 drwxr-xr-x 297 root root 430080 Mar 19 17:12 /etc | 50016 drwxrwxrwt 122 root root 50872320 Mar 19 17:40 /tmp `---- Compare that with: ,----[ /bin/ls /etc | wc -l ] | 607 `---- ,----[ /bin/ls /tmp | wc -l ] | 1251 `---- This happens with any dir that has overturn. Rsync(1)ing the dir creates a new one that is much smaller. In the case of /etc it ended up taking only two fs blocks: ,----[ ls -lsd /BAK/etc ] | 36 drwxr-xr-x 99 root root 8192 Mar 19 17:48 /ETC/etc `---- I presume it has something to do with extents? Is there any way to prevent this growth? -JimC -- James Cloos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
