I looked at the kernel sources and mount man page, and I didn't find any support for stride (or stripe) mount option for ext3 file system. Not in base Linus' kernel or in debian/patches/* of above mentioned debian kernel. Maybe I missed something obvious here. How are you using that stride parameter? -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
