So > it's not at all surprising that the contiguous percentage is 32%. I see, thank you. Yes, there are many files splitted in 2GB each. But what is surprising for me is that I have to wait for more than five minutes to save/restore the virtual machine's 512MB-RAM image (usually it takes less than five seconds). Hdparm reports DMA is on and e2fsck reports no errors, so I thought it is severely fragmented. May be I should backup all virtual machine's data and format the partition and restore them. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
