I tried noatime, and I continue to use it now, but it didn't make any noticeable difference, unlike the migration to ext4. I was hesitant about using the writeback option and didn't try it. The Fedora laptop has 56 Gb of free space, and the Ubuntu one has at least that much. Since I first installed Fedora 9, it was upgraded to 10, 11, and then to 12. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
