You always have to toss up the time-to-fsck against the performance penalty of journalled filesystems. You can get some interesting speedups using full data journalling (with ext3) and a fast external journal, btw. > 2) Plenty of memory negates most of a filesystems performance concerns. Whenever you're doing fs benchmarks, work with 2 * RAM worth of data, otherwise you're just benchmarking the cache. ;-) - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2004: Adelaide, Australia http://lca2004.linux.org.au/ "Driving Miss Daisy.
