Well obviously if my hard-disk was slow enough to get what I wanted, I wouldn't need to ask the question.
You're obviously missing the point of what I wrote. What makes disk filesystems slow is not the code run on the CPU...it's the operating speed of the disk-head actuator. It's not the filesystem that's slow, it's the DISK DRIVES that are slow. The disk I/O bottleneck is not the CPU overhead , it's the speed which the read/write head can be placed into the proper track position plus additional waiting for the correct sector to come around underneath the read/write head. There are not "slow" filesystems, only slow hard disks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
