How much outbound bandwidth do you have? As a home ADSL user, I have so little outbound speed that it hardly matters what is the pattern of access. _Constant_ disk access is relative, of course, and not really such a bad thing, unless it is so severe as to impede other system activity. The worst effect it's likely to have is to perturb the kernel disk / FS cache, filling it with file data unused by any other application. Incidentally, if there are any Linux programmers reading, are there file access options or modes that inhibit caching? The kind of thing you'd use if you were writing, say, DVD burning software, where you know that once you read the block you're never going to need it again? > ... > > Thanks > nordi Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
