It depends, what type of I/O you will do. If only reads, there is no problem. Writting small files ( and removing ) will fragmentate pool and it will be a huge problem. You can set recordsize to 32k ( or 16k ) and it will help for some time. Lukas ---------------------------------------------------- CLUBNETIC SUMMER PARTY 2007 House, club, electro.
