Wouldn't that benefit in in freeing up some space > both on disk and in memory? Just a thought. The maximum block size of a XFS filesystem is 64kiB. But in linux it's limited to the PAGE_SIZE value. so, on x86 architectures, the maximum block size is 4kiB. although it could benefit from a 16kiB page size, you'll need to be running an operating system which supports this page size value. -- --Carlos _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
