The AC tree tends to be a bit more bleeding edge--are you comfortable using it on production mail servers? Well, I guess you must be, given that's what you're doing! Any ideas if it's one of more of the AC patches, or something else in the .20 patches, that's the source of your success? We've installed the 'all-in-one' patch to bring Ext3 up to that in .20, but haven't seen much performance impact compared to .19. We're also testing ResiserFS (with Chris Mason's data logging patches) on one of our servers. Our stress testing suggests that it performs well, but we'll have to see how it performs in a real world situation... _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
