Have you tried ordered mode as well? This should still yield a significant performance win because of reduced head movement and faster metadata writes. It may or may not be faster depending on the size of the written data itself..I'm just curious if you tested this. thanks Holger _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
