I don't think it will speed things up much. 8GB files are mostly hardware throughput and ext3/4 will actually be slower because the journalling etc are to make it more robust but at a speed cost. You would probably see better speed by going to ext2. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- BSD/GNU/Linux How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. = Shakespeare.
