I'm using ext2. Now's a good time to find out about my current disk
# hdparm -t /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 4.87 seconds = 13.14 MB/sec
I don't have problems detecting new messages either, I don't think. I
often keep a tail on my exim log (the one I create with my filter
file) open in another term too so I can see what's arriving.
