Sorry for the following rant, I just can't stand to be silent anymore...
This filesystem performance discussion is very interesting!
Unfortunately, I can't read any of the reported statistics.
Why are they unreadable? Because all of the emails are plain text, but rendered in Gmail in a non-fixed width font, so the columns don't line up.
Why are all of the emails plain text? Because all openSUSE mailing lists require this.
Why do all openSUSE mailing lists require plain text? HECK IF I KNOW!?!
This is 2013. Is anyone out there still reading email using /usr/bin/mail?
It sure would be nice if people could send HTML email, like the rest of the world (and every other open source project I'm involved in) has been doing for the past 15 years, so that, say, a fixed-width font could be specified for stuff that needs a fixed-width font.
We could even require HTML emails to be "multipart/alternative" for those remaining 17 /usr/bin/mail users.
What am I missing?
Sending non-HTML Email is extremely good practice. Why should *every* piece of mail be bloated in size by a factor of 3 or 4 so that it "looks pretty" on your screen when it is perfectly OK on mine in Thunderbird. One other thing is that if you ever need to use any of the major Linux mailing lists at vger.kernel.org, your HTML-containing effort will get rejected immediately. Those list expressly forbid all the extra garbage. I use Gmail as a front end to my mailer, but it requires an extremely special set of circumstances for me to either read the mail, or to compose any mail at gmail.com.
