The "noatime" option will not make any difference -- the kernel module already sets the NOATIME bit on all the cache file inodes. I don't know for sure what the "data=writeback" option does, but guessing that it makes the buffer cache a write-back one, sure, it may increase your performance. Though I had the impression that Linux already did writeback caching.. Or maybe that was only for ext2, and ext3 enforces more traditional semantics? -- kolya _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
