I've built servers that are used exactly in the described way. Fragmentation on iSCSI-exported sparse files is, as expected, absolutely horrific. However in virtual web servers environments the expected throughput is low enough to be of little importance in that particular case. If the OP expects higher performance, he will be on quite a tough ride I'm afraid. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Emmanuel Florac | Direction technique | Intellique | <eflorac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | +33 1 78 94 84 02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
