You can unmount the partitions or tell the system not to mount them. Then use tune2fs to switch to ext2. However, something less drastic to try is at the redhat site: http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/ext3/tuning.html which is part of the Redhat white paper on ext3 and find out how /sbin/elvtune and little known program can help you make your ext3 more efficient. http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/ext3/ Is the whole white paper on ext3. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:akonstam@trinity.edu -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
