Re: new filesystem improvements in 6.0-RELEASE, require newfs?

In performing a system upgrade, does one need to newfs/format a given partition with a new file system to make use of these optimizations, or is the bonus simply in the kernel/filesystem support and sticking with the current UFS2 partition (5.3-RELEASE/amd64) will step-up to it? As you nicely put it: the bonus is simply in the kernel :) -- Joao Barros ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The VFS optimizations and improvements in the SMP locking don't really depend on having a particular file system type, AFAIK, so you shouldn't need to newfs for the performance gains they implement. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
