Thanks for the answer Dave and Michael. As you might realize, I have no knowledge if the internal works of XFS :-P My problem is that the file system sometimes seems to be a bit laggy when listing directories and so on. I really don't know how to deal with it. I guess more memory always will help but where should I put the limit? Can it be a solution (ugly) to warm up the cache by making a complete "find" on the file system sending output to /dev/null? but then again it would probably be a stupid way to use precious memory for something that isn't used that often. -- Emil fre 2012-02-17 klockan 14:05 +0100 skrev Michael Monnerie: > Am Freitag, 17.
