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? -Archie -- Archie L.
