hi ya for the long weekend ... i spent about 8hrs playing..
here's the fun freebie script to test which filesystem is faster - format the disk(partitions) once - do 3 passes copying 2.3GB of files from /dev/hda to /dev/hdc http://www.linux-sec.net/FS/Scripts/ ( tweek as needed or cleanse it before running and formatting ( your target or wrong disk - cloning a disk from /dev/hda to /dev/hdc is easy to understand how fast or slow each target filesystem is - bonnie++ numbers drives me nuts as to how fast the disk/filesystem should be ( thanx though, russell, for the common bonnie++ benchmarks ) guess i'll post the results of the output logs later ( tommorrow ) c ya alvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
