I don't think that it's really worth switching to ext3 but then switching off the journalling. Switching to ext4 instead, though, may prove to be worthwhile. > I forget the exact difference, probably a few percent, which is not much, > but present.

I have not retested this in a long time (no reason to). It may be worth re-testing now. ;-) > My /boot partition is ext2 also, for historical reasons. I do not believe > it is necessary anymore. My desktop box has ext3 and ext4, with anything new or trivially reformattable (i.e. /boot) using ext4; I plan to (eventually) move everything to ext4. My laptop and netbook are both using ext4. -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.
