Hello, On my home server (Debian etch, custom 2.6.28.2 kernel), I am using ext3 for both root and /home filesystems, with barriers enabled to prevent corruption caused by my PATA disk write cache. Looking for a better performance, I have also set the commit=nr option as described in linux-2.6.28.2/Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt, so that I now have: niko@petole:~$ mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,commit=30,barrier=1) /dev/sda3 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime,commit=30,barrier=1) I know I may loose the last 30 seconds of "work" (it's just a home server), but is the filesystem at risk (corruption, whatever, ...) with these mount options ? Thanks, -- Nicolas _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
