Hi, I am running some network performance tests, running kernel 2.4.17 on a diskless machine. NFS is used as a root file system. No ramdisk involved. When I DISABLE support for ext2 in "make menuconfig", the performance drops by almost 20%. Any ideas why this could happen ? -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
