That's what i've observed as well. With a 100GB filesystem on SCSI FCP disk, it takes about 10-15 seconds; just about the same time it takes on the Solaris box next to it with a similar size filesystem. If you're on ESCON disks, the vgscan to get the LVM initialized will take far longer than the journal replay. I'd be curious what they're measuring it against? -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
