You can try a larger journal (with data=journal), change the default write timer from 5 to 30 seconds (like ext2), try using raid10 instead of raid5 (but you'll get less disk space available), try using the orlov allocator patch, or try using reiserfs that takes more measures to keep data close together on disk. Google for each of these issues will find more details. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
