Less i-nodes is based on the ability to use the "extents" feature. However, reiserfs (and reiser4fs), xfs, and jfs have used similar features for quite a while. ext4 will finally bring speed parity to the ext family of filesystems for large files, but it is unlikely to dethrone xfs as the speed king there. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
