The tests and the patch are described Have you tried using -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192? For one thing, I'm usually impatient with analyses that say "I've problem A therefore we must do B". For another thing, performance is explicitly not a primary goal, the aim is after all rescue and recovery, if your system is completely dead all of a sudden it is more important to have more tools that work than it is to have the best performance. I'll add a note to investigate it, I would guess that if it adds no size it might be a good idea (I'm not betting on that...) As far as doing it yourself, just build the kernel you want (nfs support is in the kernel), run unpack.s, replace 1/zImage (the kernel), and run buildit.s and install.s. You can use whatever kernel you want as long as it supports floppies, ramdisks, and minix filesystems. -Tom
