Well, these aren't disks (essentially zero seek time), so I'd expect random access read performance to be extremely fast. Random writes, on the other hand, should be terrible. I didn't have a lot of time to benchmark this before heading home so I just ran bonnie++ but I left off some options and the second line of results was entirely filled with plusses. But anyway, I was merely responding to the comment about SSDs rendering this discussion moot. Obviously disk access speed is a factor in startup time, but I don't think it's anything close to the dominating factor. - J< -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
