Well, ext3 has many other advantages than just proformence. It supports journaling, and is much more stable to boot. I actually switched off my computer a number of times to see if I could kill the file system, and it remained in tact. Try that with a MS fs or the ext2 file system, and it would be screwed. Anyone wants to stay with older technology when there is improved technology can go ahead. Another man's loss is another man's gain. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kirk Wood <cpt.kirk@xxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 7:58 AM Subject: Re: RH 6.2 Versus RH 7.2 > > Well, I've noticed that slow down in spead myself.
