This is consistent (with find anyway). dT: 10.005 flag_I 10000000us sizeof 240 i -1 L(q) ops/s r/s kBps ms/r w/s kBps ms/w %busy Name 0 0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0.0| fd0 0 0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0.0| cd0 1 156 134 880 6.7 22 352 23.0 89.0| ad0 0 0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0.0| acd0 0 0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0.0| ad0s1 1 156 134 880 6.7 22 352 23.5 89.3| ad0s2 [..] 0 0 0 4 23.4 0 0 0.0 0.7| ad0s2a 0 0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0.0| ad0s2b 0 0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0.0| ad0s2c 0 0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0.0| ad0s2d 1 155 133 876 6.8 22 352 24.0 90.6| ad0s2e I thought maybe updating file access times? but would that be so much of a penalty, even on this 300MHz laptop with a UDMA33 5400rpm drive ..
