Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "emerge glibc" and compiling kernel are not actually happening on the reiser4 partition (if it is /usr/portage only) and they IMHO actually lower the stress on the reiser4 partition, because they consume CPU power that would be used by emerge sync and bonnie (which do stress-test the reiser4 partition). But maybe I'm wrong, or it was the point to get emerge sync & bonnie working in an environment where they have to compete for CPU time with other processes? (Please bear with me, I'm not a developer and I'm newbie, but I use Gentoo so the things above seemed weird to me). al-Quaknaa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
